dig and nslookup both display the IP address of the DNS resolver that
you are querying.  But if you are asking for which DNS resolver
actually provided the answer, that would be more difficult as prior
posts have indicated.

For example, if I do a DNS lookup of lists.fedoraproject.org, and
assuming none of the DNS resolvers have the data cached, my local DNS
server (my ISP router) will forward the request to a DNS resolver it
has configured, that DNS server will do the same, etc., until we
either get a cached answer, or we go all the way up to one of the root
DNS servers which can forward to the authoritative DNS server for the
domain.  So if you are trying to determine which of the servers in the
forward chain provided the answer, that is difficult (again as per
prior answers).
