GUI:Interface DHCP, no option for 2 DNS servers
Just ran into this on a 40C I was configuring at a remote office in China. In the GUI, on the Internal interface, DHCP options, Specify DNS server only gives you the option to put in 1 DNS IP address.
There may be some special format for listing 2 DNS servers on that one line.. but I could not find it in the help manual or by guessing using " ,:;" .
It would be nice if when you select " Sepcify DNS" it gave you " Primary-" and " Secondary-" fields to populate.
I did drop to the CLI and was able to add a 2nd DNS server and verified the client was receiving both DNS servers.
Config system dhcp server
Edit1
set dns-server2 8.8.8.8
end
In the GUI it still only shows the primary DNS.... again.. why is there not a option for 2? 2 is kind of standard... generally speaking..
Please reference my computer generated consept for the new GUI.
300E x3, 200D, 140D, 94D, 90D x2, 80D, 40C, handful of 60E's.. starting to loose track.

Yes it' s hidden in the CLI.
config system dhcp server
edit <x> (the one tied to your referenced interface)
set dns-server2 8.8.8.8
set dns-server3 8.8.4.4
end

You can specify dns domain in CLI too (it should be useful):
set domain mydomain.adds

I agree and believe in the old 4 versions of the OS it was part of the GUI. Dual DNS is just a standard item I believe that should be included!

This will be available on the FortiOS UI in a 5.2 patch release.

Just as an update if you place the two DNS servers in the "Specify" field with a comma between it will use the two.
Example: 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220
Hope that helps if someone is more comfortable with the GUI.

The use of a comma is correct as user jvanderzee suggested.
