Using pppoe : nameserver not provided?

Hi,
My second netgear router has crashed in as many years, so I've decided to
connect FreeBSD 5.3 via pppoe.
Configuration was a breeze, and I have complete functionality. However, I
can't determine what nameserver the pppoe connection is directing FreeBSD to
use.
With the netgear router, the ISP nameserver was shown on the configuration
screen, so I had assumed that this value was provided by the ISP's dhcp
server. Before I switched over to pppoe I simply added the router address
into /etc/resolv.conf and it worked. But now I can't figure out where to get
this value. I tried the gateway address provided to pppoe, but that doesn't
work.
Can anyone direct me to a man page or some other resource that will help me
get the proper information over to FreeBSD?
Thanks
lane
