Use Google DNS servers on a Linode Ubuntu instance

As a temporary workaround for Linode DNS problems, make your servers resolve using Google DNS. You must list Google’s DNS servers before Linode’s.

One way to do this in Ubuntu Linux is:

  1. Add the following line to /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf:

    prepend domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;

  2. Reboot, or restart networking: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
