Have a need for using a couple more dns servers

grandrivers

have the desire to have a couple more dns servers say 8 would be a bit more helpful with having 4 interfaces 4 goes fairly quickly with 2 interfaces and 2 ipv6 tunnels
i want to have at least 1 per isp and use googles as a fail safe for isps ran into an issue with streaming missing local isp cache with out isps dns

You can simply use the build in DNS Resolver and enter 127.0.0.1 as DNS. Then there's no need to use the ISPs DNS at all.

with out isp dns server I miss cache server for certain things and really slows things down

You can always increase the Message Cache Size and maybe enable Prefetch Support.

that would have nothing todo with missing the youtube cache server in order to hit it had to switch to isp dns but wanted to still have fall back for when it fails

I have no idea what you are talking about, guess I'm just too old for all this modern Youtube stuff :)

I wonder if theres a command i can use to add them as custom in the resolver setup page

Maybe by using multiple Forward Zone Options, but I have not verified this against the actual unbound.conf pfSense is generating for forwarding.
