[Bug 1476510] [NEW] More than 3 DNS servers fails the Networking step

[Yaron]

Public bug reported:

While installing Ubuntu Server I got to the Network Configuration step
where I'm asked to specify which DNS servers I'd like to use.

In my case I wanted to go with 2 from OpenDNS and 2 by Google and added them all like this (space is the delimiter):
208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

I got an error about that particular step, went back and removed the
last one, now it succeeded.

I can think of at least 3 ways to solve this:
1. Add an appropriate guidance text within the DNS selection screen.
2. Verify the input includes no more than 2 spaces (not consequent)
3. Both.

Since this is a Debian based package I think it would be appropriate to
fix this also upstream once we'll get to a proper solution.

Kind regards,
Yaron Shahrabani.
