The work on this was stalled for almost a year, I've started to work on it
again this summer, expect it to work at the end of the summer.

This feature is already working, you can specify a DNS as follows:
chrome.exe --dns-server=8.8.8.8

ahh thank you for your help; would you know how to enable that in google
chrome portable? also, would I just use the following chrome.exe
--dns-server=8.8.8.8 --dns-server=8.8.4.4 to use both dns servers?

Not sure about portable, but I would expect it to be the same flag,
assuming it was based on a revision that includes the feature. Also,
currently you can specify a single DNS server. You should star the
following bug to be notified of new features: http://crbug.com/60149.

I found it (in the chrome portable help file of all places)
------------------------
Command line options

Google Chrome has some experimental features which require command line
parameters to activate. Some others are for diagnostic purposes. You can
enable these by copying
GoogleChromePortable\Other\Source\GoogleChromePortable.ini to
GoogleChromePortable\ and adding the parameters to the AdditionalParameters
field. For example:

[GoogleChromePortable]
AdditionalParameters=--disable-extensions --enable-webgl
-----------------------
in case anyone else wanted to know :)

thank you agayev for all of your help, I starred the bug you mentioned.

Actually it appears that it doesn't work with portable (at least as they
tell you to configure it, I am trying to find a different way to do it) I
tested chrome installed on my home computer with the command line switch
enabled (on a 'normal' shortcut) and went to "chrome://version" which lists
off the various command line switches enabled, and on my home version the
--dns-server=8.8.8.8 works, however on the portable one, it does not.
