And, of course, as usual, that you don't notice any obvious regression in XSConsole.

@stormi Did not even know the problem existed . Anyway, added a new (second) DNS server (9.9.9.9) to the DNS server list via xsconsole and rebooted the host (XCP-ng 8.2.0 fully patched).

Before update: DNS 9.9.9.9 did not persist, only the previous settings are shown
After update: DNS 9.9.9.9 did persist the reboot and is listed together with the previous settings

Deleting DNS 9.9.9.9 worked as well, so the xsconsole update worked for me.

IIRC, it's on old problem reported a long time ago to Citrix. But they never fixed it.

edit: and thanks again @gskger for your tests, it matters a lot!

@olivierlambert as always, it is a pleasure to help and also easy to do and to contribute. Oh and @BenjiReis - sorry for not replying to your initial post.
