Doh, so know enough about your distro to figure out where to look.  In
this case ``man resolvconf`` would likely be useful for you to read.

Also, you don't need to cat resolv.conf at all...just include full dig
output.  That will show the name server used:

OPS:54 foo at bar.baz:~$ dig google.com

;; SERVER: a.b.c.d#53(a.b.c.d)
