Modify the file resolv.conf with the following parameters

sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf

Enter the following details save and exit the file

//Replace example.com with your domain name and 192.168.0.1 with the address of your DNS server.

Search example.com
nameserver 192.168.0.1

Test your DNS using the following command

dig example.com

I don't have idea about ubutu but i'm using debian, i think must be similiar. In debian the configuration of a DNS server requires installing Debian packages
following (as root):

# apt-get install bind9 bind9-doc dnsutils

The DNS service is composed of two programs:

• The so-called named, is the domain name server.
• The resolver (client) is what generates the requests.

Before you edit and manipulate any configuration file or any tool service do a backup of it. You can copy the same name and add the end of the text "origin. For example:

# cp /etc/bin/named.conf.local /etc/bind/named.conf.local.origen

The domain configuration file is named in /etc/bind/ and is called named.conf. In the same directory is the other configuration files relations bind. The named.conf file is rarely changed. The specific areas of DNS server is configured, are defined in /etc/bin/named.conf.local and are included at the end of this file with an "include". The named working directory is /var/cache/bind/.

To launch the service must run the following command:

#/Etc/init.d/bind9 start

The first commands to change file to perform in "Terminal":

vi /etc/bind/named.conf
vi /etc/bind/db.192.168.0
vi /etc/bind/db.halios.interne

Creating zones (in vim /etc/bind/named.conf):

zone "halios.interne" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.halios.interne";
};

zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.192.168.0";
};

Once all the configuration files written you can run the server:

/etc/init.d/bind9 start

-> Or need to restart the server:

/etc/init.d/bind9 restart
