Adguard DNS Rewrites not working as they should. Rewrites being processed by public DNS and not local DNS.

I have 2 Adguard Home DNS servers setup in LXC containers. About 4-5 months ago, I added DNS rewrites and it was working, but after about a month they have not been resolving locally. I noticed that instead of rewriting to my reverse proxy, the request gets resolved by one of my upstream DNS servers. I've also tried adding my secondary Adguard IP to my upstream with no luck. I've been toying around with this for the past 3-4 months and I'm lost. My rewrite entry is *.slubhome and forwards to my reverse proxy ip address

Here's the result from one of my attempts at accessing my local Adguard sync server (which is in my reverse proxy).

adguard-sync.slubhome

Status - Processed

DNS server - 9.9.9.9:53

Served from cache - [check]

Elapsed - 0.01 ms

Response code - NXDOMAIN

These are my upstream DNS servers:

https://dns10.quad9.net/dns-query

9.9.9.9

1.1.1.1

1.0.0.1

8.8.8.8

I have "Use Private DNS Resolvers" unchecked and "Enable Reverse Resolving of Client's IP Addresses" checked. (I have tried turning both off or both on with no luck.)

Any ideas?
