install bind packages and forward your all DNS requests to ISP's DNS through your local DSN to configure as forwarders

here is the configuration
options {
directory "/var/named";
allow-transfer { none; };
allow-query { 192.168.1.0/24; localhost; };
allow-recursion { 192.168.1.0/24; localhost; };
forwarders { ISP_DNS_1; ISP_DNS_2; };
version "Go away!";
};

logging {
category lame-servers { null; };
};

// Root server hints
zone "." { type hint; file "db.cache"; };

// Provide a reverse mapping for the loopback address 127.0.0.1
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "db.127.0.0";
notify no;
};

replace ISP_DNS_1 and ISP_DNS_2 respectively with actuall DSN IP of ISP

Regards
