 ====== Ubuntu - Bind - Configure Bind9 - Caching Nameserver ======
+The default configuration acts as a caching server.
+Simply uncomment and edit **/etc/bind/named.conf.options** to set the IP addresses of the DNS servers you want to use; such as your ISP’s DNS servers:
+<code bash>
+forwarders {
+.2.3.4;
+.6.7.8;
+};
+</code>
+<WRAP info>
+**NOTE:**  Replace 1.2.3.4 and 5.6.7.8 with the IP Addresses of actual nameservers.
+</WRAP>
+To enable the new configuration, restart the DNS server:
+<code bash>
+sudo systemctl restart bind9.service
+</code>
