afaik 'dns-nameserver =' is incorrect.
Try
dns-nameservers 68.94.156.1 68.94.157.1
instead. This works on multiple installations here.
It will only work if you have the 'resolvconf' package installed.
And the nameservers need to answer your queries, most should prevent
queries not from their own networks that are not for the domains tehy
serve themselves nowadays. However, the 2 mentioned ones answer, so this
should not be an issue.
If you have firewall rules enabled, make sure port 53/udp is available.
