I was under the impression that such settings
(which I have seen in
other distros) were independent of whatever is in the system's
resolv.conf file. Is there a way of permanently saving the other DNS
addresses? The ISP's gateway software has their DNS addresses 'grayed
out' (for lack of a better term) and they cannot be changed in the
gateway. Cloudflare's DNS service has a faster response time than the
ISP's, from here.
the resolv.conf is a symlink if you use a subsystem to
handle the DNS
entries (network manager or dhclient)
you either put your setting in the subsystem of choice or remove the symlink
and create a static file. The last option will probably couse troubles with
some of these subsystems.
