Your ISP might be load balancing all their DNS servers anyway, so decided not to specify the secondary in their PPP setup. Its just a backup, so if you want to set it manually then you could enter one from a different ISP.
Is this where it is listing the external DNS from the ISP or is it the DNS used for end users of your router? I'm assuming it's an ADSL router we are talking about.
In most case if the later, you normally only have one - most often the router's own address. If this is a listing of the DNS provided from the ISP, I would have thought there would be more than one.
Yeah you can disable stuff on the modem/router that the other router will be doing but I think enabling half bridge / ip extension overrides / bypasses a lot of those settings anyway.
I just gave my pc a static ip, and now I can only access the router setup page. I used to be able to access both the router and the modem with DHCP. Why is that?

In your setup:
What is LAN address of the modem/router? What is the LAN address of the 2nd router (DD-WRT)? What is the address you gave your PC?
I think DD-WRT has an option to always assign the same address to a PC by mac address, try that option then you can leave your PC set at obtain automatically.
