Actually it is possible to use any nameserver with Dynamic or Static IP's. As far as I know, A nameserver is a seperate server, like a web server, which stores the IP address associated with each domain name. I personally use 208.67.222.222(OpenDNS, best performance) and 4.2.2.1(most realiable, in case the other fails). Another thing, only Ubuntu updates the /etc/resolv.conf when it connects with wvdial. But in some other distros, like Arch linux, you have to set the nameservers separately. when you ping google.com, if you get an error about "unknown host google.com", then add the two nameservers to your /etc/resolv.conf.
