          If you do DHCP static mappings for these "exception" machines, like @johnpoz says, you simply enter the other DNS server IP addresses in the area highlighted with the red box (see screenshot). You'll have to restart the DHCP server in pfsense, and renew the lease on your client machines for it to quickly take effect.
