Description

System->General Setup already supports 4 DNS servers, which get passed to DHCP clients if DNS Forwarder is not enabled and no specific DNS are entered in the DHCP DNS Server boxes. So there is no problem with the underlying DHCP Server giving out 4 DNS Servers.
For some reason the DHCP setup GUI only has 2 boxes for DNS servers.
This forum post is looking to be able to specify 4 DNS servers to DHCP: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=82485.0
It seems a simple bit of code cut-and-paste to have 4 boxes in the DHCP setup GUI and follow that through to the implementation. I am happy to do the mindless code hack if it would be accepted as useful.

and OpenVPN server GUI has boxes to provide up to 4 DNS servers to clients, so it seems reasonable/consistent to have 4 boxes for DNS on the DHCP server GUI also.

That's reasonable Phil, feel free to submit that as a merge request to master.
