Add the ability to change DNS settings for 3G
I found out that my 3g provider has the "DNS catch all" so that when a DNS query returns no result it redirects the connection to its own search engine sugesting similar websites. for example if in the browser I digit dnas.fi (or any other non existant domain) I don't get the error of invalid domain but a search page.
The only way to avoid this is to change the DNS settings so that I opt out of this "service" and I get to have the RFC way of working DNS.
Please add the capability to edit DNS for an APN.

EDIT: the provider in its help pages indicates to configure on the device other DNS servers to opt-out of this feature, it's not a my implementation of a workaround. The provider itself offers alternative DNS servers that have the standard RFC behavior. That option would be useful to use third party DNS as well.
