Specify source in nuspec dependency

Question

I have a local NuGet feed. This feed contains a dependency and that dependency is on nuget.org.

This is in my nuspec file:

<dependencies>
  <dependency id="log4net" version="[1.2.10]" />
</dependencies>

How can I specify that NuGet has to look in nuget.org for this dependency? I currently receive:

Install-Package : Unable to resolve dependency 'log4net (= 1.2.10)'.

When I perform an Install-Package via the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio.

In your Package manager console, the top left corner has a dropdown to select the package source. Make sure you have selected "All" when you try to install packages that might have dependencies from other package sources.
