Hi Guys,
Previously on my 123-reg vps I configured OpenDNS as my resolver and I want to use OpenDNS on my DigitalOcean server. The file says that I should not modify by hand what do you recommend.
I have to use OpenDNS dns lookup.
Thanks. Ersin.

You can modify /etc/network/interfaces to change the name servers
Then just run the following command to restart the network interface to reload new configuration.
I was just having problems with the default 4.2.2.1 resolver, switched over to Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). I wonder if DigitalOcean will have their internal/co-located DNS service to speed up these queries? Otherwise GoogleDNS works well (even if it’s not the fastest according to what I’ve read elsewhere).
Yes you are right the after reboot it gets lost. I found another solution you can edit resolvconf configuration.
edit - /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base add whatever name server you want it works.
