Specify DNS servers

Option to specify DNS servers on rrda command.

In this case, API urls can be simplified by ometing DNS server data.

Same rationale as #6, there isn't much point in allowing for two types of endpoints semantics, you can achieve the desired outcome using URL rewriting.

RRDA is intended as a foundation to build DNS looking glasses, being able to specify name servers in the URL is the intended behavior.

I'm not saying that we have to remove this behavior, but to have two options.

you can achieve the desired outcome using URL rewriting.

First of all, it's a method and it would be great to have some config samples on the doc.

But url rewriting is not an option for me. Let me explain my concrete case:

I wrote a ready to use rrda app for docker here: https://hub.docker.com/r/dockervan/rrda/

This image is directly listening on the http port via docker-compose. It would be very painful to setup a nginx/apache alternative image in addition just for a single rewrite.

So I understand the DNS specifying behavior, but I still think both url and option setting worth it.
