Setting more than one backup DNS server on windows

I want to add more than one backup DNS server (more than 2 total) on windows, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this with the UI. Can I do it through the registry or powershell or something?

1Have you ever heard of a case where two DNS servers failed simultaneously? – unforgettableidSupportsMonica – 2015-06-10T00:41:20.040

I was trying to do an odd thing with DNS, I understand that two servers are plenty. – Jakob Weisblat – 2015-06-10T00:57:08.697

1Now I'm perhaps even more curious. What thing? :) – unforgettableidSupportsMonica – 2015-06-10T03:25:50.100

Under TCP/IP Settings, click "Advanced..." and select the DNS tab. There you can add additional DNS servers.
