In /etc/resolv.conf they're separate lines.

nameserver ns1.example.com
nameserver ns2.example.com

When you can run dig @8.8.8.8 www.yourdomain.com and see what you want to see, your DNS is working.

Looks like the custom name servers are configured correctly and set at my host.

nslookup says:

Server:         127.0.1.1
Address:        127.0.1.1#53

I configured nat for 80 - which works by IP, and port 53.

I verified my router has NAT for port 53 enabled.

Any suggestions?

Thank you for your help!!

You need to change the nameserver(s) of the domain at (insert domain
registrar here) to point to the nameserver(s) of your BIND setup.
 nslookup will return the correct IP address from your BIND machine
if you added the /etc/hosts line.  May need to open up port TCUP/UDP
53 for the external IP address if you have a router.  Add
nameserver(s) to your resolv.conf

Hi,

Note I have a Cox business account that allows me to run a server
and I have a private IP.

Installed Bind, setup zones... ect.  When I go to the site using
the domain, it says server not found.  If I enter the IP given me
by Cox into the browser I see the home page. nslookup returns the
proper IP and the FQDN - I'm guessing that means Bind is configured
correctly?

I added a line  "xx.xx.xx.xx donain.tld" to the /etc/hosts file. 
I used the IP given me by Cox.  Is that correct?

I added a line "search domain.tld" to /etc/resolv.conf .  Is this
correct?

Anything else I should be checking?

Thank you for your help!!
