I am not at home and cannot see my UI from here.

But isn't the DNS nameservers on the Global Settings which is at the bottom of any page?

It is, but adding name-servers there didn't work, neither did having the router pick up the DNS servers from my ISP

I did find a fix / workaround - and learned a bit more about the router - using dnsmasq
1. added 127.0.0.1 as the global name-server (via the gui), then
2. via the cli, set some forwarding name-servers (to opendns for the moment),
3. disabled name-server updates from the isp (connected via dhcp on eth1), and
4. had dns requests on all other ports (eth0, 2, 3, 4 & switch0) set to listen. finally
5. set dns forwarding to system
tl;dr I fluked a fix
