Under almost all circumstances, you don't need to enter _any_ DNS server, and unless you're having specific DNS-related problems, it's best not to.

Thanks Dan,

But I've got a specific pb :-( Somme adresses are not resolved and i would like to say the server to forward or redirect the request unresolved to my ISP DNS server.

Don't know if it is possible ?

In that case, entering one of the DNS servers in the console configuration should do what you're looking for--but if your SME isn't resolving the name, and your ISP's DNS server is, then it's almost certain that there's a problem with one of them.

/etc/resolv.conf
