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]
