Native MacOS App Much slower than Router CLI

I was just doing some random testing and when the client is enabled the responses are much higher (85ms) vs the Unifi Router responses upstream at 0ms.

 

I am curious why the native app seems much slower to resolve.

    0ms is only because it's cached

    Then it seems curious why the native client does not cache (or have the option to) like the router CLI

      Chris Colotti dig does not query the system stub resolver and thus short circuit the system’s DNS cache by connecting to the system configured resolver IP directly. When using CLI on router, dig connects to it as a resolver and thus benefits from its cache.
