Domain Name System (DNS)

Override DHCP Nameservers (Debian/ Ubuntu)

sudo nano /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf

Add the following line replacing 8.8.8.8 with the IP of your server.

supersede domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8;

Restart Networking so the change takes affect.

sudo service networking restart

You can test the change by running something like dig google.com then check that SERVER: matches the value you added to dhclient.conf above.
