Description

The text below the "DNS servers" fields on the DHCP server configuration reads "Leave blank to use the system default DNS servers: this interface's IP if DNS Forwarder or Resolver is enabled, otherwise the servers configured on the System / General Setup page.".

This is limiting, when using an alternative DNS service (such as the BIND package), especially for IPv6 where IPs are likely not to be static. There should be a way to access the later part of this functionality, advertising the interface IP as the DNS server, even without the DNS forwarder or resolver packages enabled.
