I am working to get my Ignition Gateway to communicate with a server outside of our local plant network for a new module to communicate with their remote server. I can currently reach the ignition gateway through my local plant network, but my IT department says I need to make sure these ip's are set for DNS 1 IP xx.xx.x.x and DNS 2 IP xx.x.x.xx. How do I do this in ignition config?

You do not. Those are part of the OS that Ignition runs on top of.
