How does an internal user get to google.com with an external dns?

If using DHCP, the DNS server IP is provided by the dhcp server. If not using DHCP, the DNS server IP must be included in the local IP configuration.

In both cases, it can be any routable and allowed [in firewalls with protocol/port (usually 53 over udp)] IP address.
