That's the problem. You have to point the hosts to a DNS server.  So you have 
either to run DNS on 192.168.0.1, or point the clients to the same name 
server your gateway points to.

The entries in the gateway's resolv.conf are used for requests originating 
from the gateway only.  

You could, however, install a forwarding DNS server on the gateway, that gets 
your clients requests and forwards them to the "real" DNS server, if you 
don't want your clients to point to an outside server...
