Follow-up: The feature for defining multiple server has landed in development-v6 and will definitely be released with Pi-hole v6.0. We are currently also working on a nicer user interface:

github.com/pi-hole/web

Better user interface to edit reverse DNS servers (`dns.revServers`)

### What does this PR aim to accomplish? Replace the current single `<textare…a>` with a table. Each reverse server will be in a separate row and each field will be in a separate table cell. A small legend will improve usability (maybe we will need to change the help text). **NOTE:** ~~Depends on https://github.com/pi-hole/web/pull/2885~~ _(already merged)_ ### How does this PR accomplish the above? Using _datatables_ plugin and a few functions to deal with _dns.revServers_ entries. ![image](https://github.com/pi-hole/web/assets/1385443/9c8613ae-bb71-4dbe-89b0-9576942de1a2) --- **By submitting this pull request, I confirm the following:** 1.

Multiple conditional forwarders works for me now. One per line on the GUI. I have multiple subnets and one domain. One pi-hole per subnet. DHCP on the routers. Port forwarding for DNS on the internal routers.

This is available since Pi-hole v6.0. Conditional forwarding (now called "reverse servers") is a list, so you can add as many entries as you like, each with its own address range, target server and domain. See Settings -> DNS, or the dns.revServers array in pihole.toml. Marking this as implemented.
