    If its a caching nameserver, you can edit /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf and enter the IP address/es of the nameservers you wish to use e.g.
    Code:
    forwarders { xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; }; 
forward only;

    named.conf might be located in /etc/named.conf depending on your distribution
