There is one way to do this, but after you have done it you may decide
that you no longer need to know your ISP's DNS address :-)
If you setup your own DNS server (named) and have that interrogate the
root name servers directly (the addresses of the root name servers are
provided with the package), then you can use dig or nslookup to find
the nameserver address for your ISP. Though once you have setup your
own nameserver, you will not need your ISP's (though it probably makes
more sense to use your ISP's DNS server as a forwarder rather than go
to the root servers for cache misses.)
