I’m running Centos 7. All the usual places to change the DNS resolver have a warning message that this file is created by cloudinit. So where do I actually set the resolver address? That is I need a file not created by cloudinit or any other automatic process.
The only reason I ask is in the last few days my reverse DNS check in Postfix has failed on some IP addresses that are fine, i.e. do have a reverse pointer. For example google gmail servers and comcast.

Hi @gc948486cbc56b8,
If you wish to change your Resolv.conf you’ll need to edit your
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
file. Open the file and search for the [main] section in this file. As soon as you find it, Adddns=none
just after the [main] tag:Now that you are done with that part, update your /etc/resolv.conf to whatever you like and restart your NetworkManager.
And that’s it, your resolv.conf should now be safe.
