I'm kind of envisioning this as part of the initial system setup, so a little more like this. Though I fully admit caffeine hasn't kicked in yet, so I may be spouting more crazy than normal :).
[*] No DNS config (warning - may limit ability to install optional components)
[ ] Pick geographically closest
[ ] Pick Random
[ ] Custom
DNS1 [_________________] (required if 'custom')
DNS2 [_________________] (optional)
(Buttons / options at the bottom)
[BACK] [List Public DNS Servers] [OK]
