i've been searching for 2 days, and not really knowing what to search for, I have been unable to comeup with the answer.

I have a redhat box with SSH installed. The box is behind a linksys router.

When I try to use NSlookup, I get the following error:

*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.1: Non-existent host/domain
*** Default servers are not available

Is there a way to configure SSH to use a different set of Nameservers?

Ie: ns1.myISP.com & ns2.myISP.com

Any help would be appreciated...

That is a function of Linux. not SSH. You want to change the address in your resolv.conf file:
