I'll look into accepting IPv6 addresses in the next release.

does this work temporarily?:

```auto
PIHOLE_DNS_1=208.67.222.222
PIHOLE_DNS_2=208.67.220.220
**PIHOLE_DNS_3=[some:ipv6:address]**
**PIHOLE_DNS_4=[another:ipv6:address]**

```

HAM? 73s...

Moderator edit: Removed some lines of the config file which are unrelated

No, our script support up to two DNS servers currently. You should be able to do e.g.

```auto
PIHOLE_DNS_1=208.67.222.222
PIHOLE_DNS_2=[some:ipv6:address]

```

73s! 🙂

In case anyone wants to know: You can use more than 2 DNS servers.

You just need to edit /etc/dnsmasq.conf and add more "server=ip adress here".
