sorry for typing mistake, yes offcourse i would like to correct it and correct data is

 I can ping every outside ip through my proxy 
 server(192.168.1.1)but i can't ping any outside ip 
 through (192.168.1.2)

so, finally 
Q1) Why i am not able to dig from 192.168.1.2(on which i am trying to confiugre DNS)
 
Q2) Is it possible to configure DNS server on the system(on which internet is shared through proxy server)??

/etc/resolv.conf should have a line in it that reads:

nameserver 

where is the ip address of a functioning name server.

Not sure what you mean here. Is that the IP address that your ISP 
assigned to you? If so, what are you using it for? If not, what is it?

If the above host is to be your name server then use it in 
/etc/resolv.conf. The name server process on this system must be 
functioning before you can expect resolution to be successful.

Both of the IP addresses above are the same. You may want to restate with 
the right IP addresses or further explain.
