I use googles DNS servers
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
Works fine for me too, however personally I prefer to use other public DNS servers
OpenDNS is 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Google is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
OpenDNS have a better response time from OVH datacentre than Google.
You should use OpenDNS as one DNS server and OVH as another, that way you have more redundancy. Personally I don't use any of OVH's own internal services, DNS, e-mail or otherwise. They're too unreliable.

confirmed as working for me also:
mail# host
www.google.com 213.186.33.99
Using domain server:
Name: 213.186.33.99
Address: 213.186.33.99#53
Aliases:
www.google.com is an alias for
www.l.google.com.
www.l.google.com has address 173.194.37.104
mail#
seems alright to me. Testing it from a BT connection and for a dedicated server in Rbx1.
There was an issue some days ago:
http://status.ovh.net/?do=details&id=424
but that was resolved.
I am not getting any DNS resolution at the moment. My resolv.conf uses 213.186.33.99 as the DNS.
Can someone confirm if this is up or down please?
