No.

domain-name-servers should be IP addresses. Which to use I can't judge,
but maybe the 2 of your ISP may be best choice.

Make sure you have forwarding set on on the gateway host:

$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

must print out "1" (without quotes). If it does not, then activate it in
/etc/sysctl.conf and run "sysctl -p". Make too sure the gateway does NAT
by an iptables rule like:

iptables -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

[eth0 should be in your case the outgoing device]
