Jason, There're multiple answers depending on what you mean by "DNS server one uses." Whois on the domain will list the DNS servers of record. Some domains also spread load over RNS servers so a dig, per a previous answer, will give more specific announced servers currently in the zone files. If you're using a current Windows box ipconfig /all at a command prompt will show the actual DNS your machine is caching. There are similar *nix commands but I'm not at home right now...

Kinda like telnetting to port 80 or 25? I know if it is possible, it's just as possible for them to change the output, but chances are the brainiacs of the world who don't filter probably aren't smart enough to change what their DNS server 'appears' to be either.
