Make sure that your DNS server files are updated, So what is the version for your DNS or the root cache file for the DNS, If it's old you may update it manually or if your Linux version still supported via updates on-line just update the DNS cache only server files with apt-get or yum as required by your Linux distro, So it can get the new files automatically for you. -You may use open dns name servers and I advice you to do this, As they always update it and it's free, It will work for you any where. 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 Any way you want to test a DNS server from Linux you can specify it directly even if it's not there on your /etc/resolv.conffile like dig @208.67.222.222 google.com If the DNS server is working fine and there are no security rules that block you from using it, It will reply to you immediately, By the way, If it will reply you quickly, This means it's a fast and you should use it on your machine as a first preference, Always test the DNS servers response times before you use it.
