Ayeup, I've been playing a little bit with Ubuntu and came across the same issue. I've not been able to find a proper solution, and the only 'Ubuntu way' to resolve this was to enter the DNS settings into the Network Settings applet of Gnome (which just appeared to edit /etc/resolv.conf). Maybe if I look harder on the net the solution will appear, but it works as it is.
