In my pretty standard dnsmasq setup, upstream dns is in /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf. From the manpage: ----- In order to configure dnsmasq to act as cache for the host on which it is running, put "nameserver 127.0.0.1" in /etc/resolv.conf to force local processes to send queries to dnsmasq. Then either specify the upstream servers directly to dnsmasq using --server options or put their addresses real in another file, say /etc/resolv.dnsmasq and run dnsmasq with the -r /etc/resolv.dnsmasq option. This second technique allows for dynamic update of the server addresses by PPP or DHCP. ----- So, 'ps ax | grep dnsmasq' ought to tell you where upstream is (that's how I found mine).
