Hi guys, I would just like to know what I need to do to make my DNS server resolve external websites, I connect directly to my DNS server from my PC and my DNS can resolve all of the records hosted in it but if, for example I try to go to google.com then it won’t resolve.
I’m using BIND on an Ubuntu 12.04 x64 Droplet.
Thanks in advance, Francis
