If a DNS server cannot find the answer to the DNS Query in its own database it will first query the forwarders (if there are any configured) and then ask the root server. root servers (by default) are the master DNS servers of the Internet.
You are referring to two different severs. A DNS servers and a DHCP server. A DNS server is called a Domain Name Server, it translates IP addresses into English so we can understand it. For instance a website has two names, the IP address 192.168.40.10 and that is matched up to a name in the DNS server such as www.Microsoft.com. So the DNS server gives you the name and vice versa is you wanted to find the IP address of www.Microsoft.com then there is a DNS server that will tell you its 192.168.40.10 (not real address). The DHCP or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is a program that gives you your PC address, such as 192.168.43.99, it is done automatically when you log in, this way your computer has a unique identifier so someone can send you an email and it will only go to you because you have a unique number given to you by your DHCP server.
Open a command prompt window then type in ipconfig/all Then there should be your dns server.
It means, you do not have secondary DNS server.

A DNS Lookup is when a device that supports IP asks a DNS server for the IP address associated with a domain name. The DNS Server must "look up" the IP associated with that domain name.For example, if you were to go to Answers.com in your browser, your computer would initiate a DNS Lookup. This process involves asking the Primary DNS Server for Answers.com's IP address. The DNS Server will ask other servers until the IP address is found and the information returned to you.Assuming it is not cached, to find the IP address for wiki.answers.com, your DNS Server would first ask a DNS Root server for the DNS Server that handles "com". The root server would reply with the IP address for "com". Your DNS Server would then find the DNS Server that handles "com" and ask it for "answers.com". The "com" DNS Server would reply with the IP address for "answers.com". Your DNS server would finally find the DNS Server that handles "answers.com" and ask it for "wiki.answers.com".Once your computer receives the reply containing the IP address for wiki.answers.com, it can finally ask wiki.answers.com for the webpage it hosts.A common analogy is that DNS is like a very large phonebook. You look through the phonebook for the name you want and it will tell you the number you need to dial the person you're looking for. The process of looking up the number is a "DNS Lookup".If you would like to experiment with DNS Lookups, you can use the command line utility "nslookup" in Windows or Linux.
