It should be able to this by default, it uses Root Hints for this.
Are the root hints loaded and resolved?
Try running this command using this exact syntax, this query is to your DNS
asking for the NS records for the ICANN root, don't miss the ".", which it
the root.
nslookup -qtype=ns .

You should expect it to return the root server addresses for the ICANN root.
If it does not use this command which is querying one of the root servers
itself for the NS records for all the root servers:
nslookup -qtype=ns . 198.41.0.4
