You are correct, though. You can put the entry into your /etc/resolv.conf to use the name servers immediately. It's just likely that file is dynamically generated by the DHCP client and will be overwritten.

Place an entry into the file that says DNS1=8.8.8.8 (Google) and DNS2=4.2.2.2 (GTEI) or use the OpenDNS project servers of you don't like Google. Go to OpenDNS.org for more information.
