--- /etc/bind/consul.conf:
zone "consul" IN {
  type forward;
  forward only;
  forwarders { 127.0.0.1 port 8600; };

Start consul, something like:
./consul agent -server -bootstrap-expect 1 -data-dir [data-dir] -config-dir [config-dir]

sudo service bind9 restart

-- /etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
