user which never used Haiku before (also think about the force of habit
due the default GUI on other OS)
As I said, this is how other OSes handle this:

Only the Windows preflet looks different from the rest.

comma or the space:two different fields, instead, in my humble opinion,
restricts the possibility of typos and misspellings, also during edit.
Even if the preflet suggest to use commas to separate the DNS, it allows
the user to use any kind of separator: commas, spaces, semicolon... and
even a combination of separators. It just swallows any of them.
> And with two distinct fields, the preflet could also appear more tidy.
But i repeat, this is just my humble opinion, about the look. In anyway
would be undoubtful the advantage of the ability to set the DNS
independently. Thank you for your efforts and for your good work on
enhancements!
