It is the application that is given the name of the site you want to get to and and the device where it resides (PC or whatever) that will then ask whatever DNS it has configured for the IP address. The router will just pass this IP address onto the next router and so on until it reaches the desired address. I have my PC set up with OpenDNs adresses but it gets The PCs address by DHCP from the router.
