Add static DNS entry to a SonicWALL?

I'm looking to add a static DNS entry to a SonicWALL, is this possible?  Please notice I said entry, not server.

We do not have an in-house DNS server, all DNS requests are forwarded to the ISP's DNS servers.  We are adding Ubiquiti AP's which we manage externally, we are looking to add an entry that forwards them to the public IP of our controller.

We do not want to add a local DNS server to this site, we only want to add one simple DNS record.

Thank you!

On the Sonicwall under Network -> DNS you can set the dns servers that the Sonicwall uses.

Is this what you want?

No, we need to add a record to the SonicWALL so that it resolves "unifi" to a public IP.  In other solutions we work with this has been called a static DNS entry/record.
I don't think this is possible. To inject a DNS record, you need to run a DNS server and the sonicwall doesn't have one.
