Well, I'd love to know what model Linksys router you are using. I was unaware that any of them run a DNS server, but if you can simply point /etc/resolv.conf to your router and get DNS services, then the router must be running one.
It was my impression that most routers that deal with the ADSL/wireless/cable connection will act as a DNS server or at least a forwarder.
For example, the Dlink router I have here (DI624) does a pppoe connection to my broadband wireless rcvr and picks up the dns server addresses from the ISP. It then will pass on any dns requests to the ISP DNS servers.
Yes, I subsequently discovered that the Linksys I have does DNS proxy. Probably the OP's box does the same, explaining his similar results. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.11.4-20a-default x86_64
