Web Application Client DNS Server Detection

On the opendns.org website, their content changes based on if you are using their DNS servers or not. If you are not, then there is a callout to the user to change their DNS settings. If your machine is setup to use their DNS servers then the callout is a link to manage your settings. How are they able to detect what the client's DNS servers are set to?
