NetworkManager allows you to set it to get your IP address by DHCP,
but
set your DNS manually. Have you tried that?
Joe,
That works fine for a single machine. What I'm trying to alter is the
whole home DHCP configuration's Primary DNS address so that all clients
point to the Pi-Hole. If I can resolve the WiFi conflict, that's simple
to do in the EdgeX router's DHCP service configuration. Unfortunately
I'm not there yet.
