-===== 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>
