It should reside in /etc and look like this: domain apana.org.au nameserver 203.11.114.1 nameserver 127.0.0.0 nameserver 203.14.168.3 nameserver 203.59.24.3 nameserver 192.188.107.12 Pretty self-explanatory. Your domain first, then list nameservers you're using, starting with your dns first, then use 2 or 3 dns that are external to your network.
