I have Ubuntu 16.04.6 server which is receiving IP address from the DHCP server. I would like to add another DNS server address in the /etc/resolv.conf file.

Since it is auto-generated and using DHCP, I am unable to add in /etc/network/interfaces as well. One possible way is to edit the file /etc/resolv.conf, but since it is not persistence, I have to change the file often.

Another thing would be copying the DHCP IP address details and make a statick connection, but I don't want to do that. Any other solution that would work?

Is this a desktop or server? If a desktop, add the DNS in Network Manager. Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. – chili555 Apr 28 '19 at 15:37
Does this help? – Doug Smythies Apr 28 '19 at 20:55
Please try this. It is a bit old but looks promising: https://askubuntu.com/questions/623704/dynamic-ip-with-static-dns – chili555 Apr 28 '19 at 23:15
