Got it! The latest firmware v1.0.11.6 (public release) has added a third DNS entry in the /etc/resolv.conf, which is not present in the previous firmware v1.0.10.8.
Please check. Thank you.
(The logs are obtain from the debug page)

Reproduce Procedure - Firmware v1.0.11.6 Public Release:
Full Factory Reset, then directly go to debug.htm (debug_frame.htm) and dump the debug log.
You can see the third DNS server ip address entry is auto created by the latest firmware.
Please fix to avoid any DNS request leak to other unwanted upstream. Thanks.

The error is not in providing for three custom DNS servers. (Many Netgear routers provide the ability to define three.)
It is in filling in any IP address rather than leave the entry blank. Interesting that 1.1.1.1 is what shows up.
