        Download your config.xml via the webgui (diagnostics>backup/restore). Edit the xml file and add a third entry where the DNS-Servers are listed:

        <pfsense><version>2.3</version>
        <lastchange><theme>metallic</theme>
        <system><optimization>normal</optimization>
        <hostname>pfsense</hostname>
        <domain>local</domain>
        <username>admin</username>
        <password>$1$dSJImFph$GvZ7.1UbuWu.Yb8etC0re.</password>
        <timezone>Europe/Berlin</timezone>
        <time-update-interval>300</time-update-interval>
        <timeservers>pool.ntp.org</timeservers>
        <webgui><protocol>http</protocol>
        <certificate><private-key></private-key></certificate></webgui>
        <disablenatreflection>yes</disablenatreflection>
        <enablesshd>yes</enablesshd>

        <maximumstates><dnsserver>x.x.x.x</dnsserver>
        <dnsserver>y.y.y.y</dnsserver>
        <dnsserver>y.y.y.y</dnsserver>
        <enableserial></enableserial></maximumstates></system>
                …..</lastchange></pfsense>

        Then reupload it. I think that should work.

          Well under Status -> Interface it only shows the primary and secondary.
          So I downloaded the config again and they are stil there, so when my ISP loose there main DNS server I'll see if this works :)
          Will try to think of another test before then though ;)
