DNS Server Addresses moved to router

I have a favorite site that I cannot access via my ISP's primary DNS server
address. I CAN access it via the secondary DNS server. Rather than
reconfigure and hunt up the second address every time I upgrade, I have set
the DNS addresses in my router, which stands between an ADSL modem in
bridge mode and my (and my wife's) computer.

Should I change my computer settings? The old settings: "use DHCP" etc
still work, except that my BitTorrent port now shows Closed all the time.
Previously I had port forwarding in the router, and it is still there.
Should I perhaps be telling my interface that its DNS server is the router,
or similar? Or should I put it back how it was originally?

TIA,

Doug.

It shouldn't make a blind bit of difference.
