you can't ...

vi /etc/resolv.conf
	localhost
	dns.isp.net
	dns2.isp2.net

if localhost does not reply in time, it's bz ls -laR'ing, it will go to the isp

adding localhost is a bad idea if you do not have
a domain configured on that machine 
	your-domain.com

and you should not be using your pc as a dns server either...
