On my failsafe router, a D-Link DI-624, I can set it to either relay dns info or not. If you don't relay it, you'd use the router as the dns server, otherwise the actual internet dns server would be used, eg: 53.23.44.23 instead of 192.168.0.1. You can't actually find out what the router is using unless you login to the router if it isn't relaying it. This may not be true in all cases, but in my experience trying to get dns information from a client inside the lan is not possible if it's not relayed.
