Are you saying that you have a new VPS and DNS isn't working on it? If so, the first thing to do is to check that you can connect to the DNS servers you wish to use:
Code:
dig www.google.com @69.175.76.110
dig www.google.com @69.175.76.111

(If you don't have dig, install the bind-utils package and try again)

If that works, but ping Google fails to resolve the hostname, check the following two files:
/etc/resolv.conf
Make sure it contains:
Code:
nameserver 69.175.76.110
nameserver 69.175.76.111

/etc/nsswitch.conf
Make sure it contains:
Code:
hosts:      files dns

NAME
desproxy-dns - DNS for dynamic connections SYNOPSIS
desproxy-dns dns_server proxy_host proxy_port OPTIONS
None DESCRIPTION
If you have direct DNS access then you don't need to do anything else. You know you have direct DNS access if you can resolve host names to IP addresses. NOTE: as desproxy-dns listens in port 53 (which is less than 1024) you may need administrator privileges to exec desproxy-dns (in fact if you are running UN*X, you actually have to run desproxy-dns as root). OK, so you have a dns server accessible now. But your computer doesn't know anything about that. You must configure your network accordingly (again, need to be root in UN*X). Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the line "nameserver 127.0.0.1". You don't have to restart anything. Just test ping and see if it works. ENVIRONMENT
