Setting default dns


Hello, I have recently setup bind9 and would like to set it as my default dns on my linux. (right now nslookup is saying "Server: 192.168.0.1" which is my router)

Basically, I want a dns that has like 1 zone, then if the user tries to pull up google.com it will use their main dns. (I don't want to route my home computer through my works ISP's DNS)

I'm a computer consultant, and although I know quite a lot about unix-like operating systems, I don't know where all the configuration files for linux are. (specifically the dns my linux pulls from by default)

Simply, How do I set my debian's default dns from 192.168.0.1 (router) to 192.168.0.101 (localhost)?
