Well, the simple answer is "Just tell me anyway".

I don't know but a work-around is to boot into Windows (or find some other
computer with a net connection) and type "nslookup ns1.yourisp.com" and use
that address. This assumes that Win. has the nslookup command but if it
doesn't try ping instead and it should report the ip address that it is
pinging.
FWIW I just tried it from here and here are the results:

So maybe putting 200.255.46.35 in your resolv.conf would do the trick.
Also note that you don't have to use your ISP's DNS server, any DNS server
on the net will most likely work in most cases.

Not really, this one really does get set correctly by default.
