Well, my VPS nameservers are domain names, not IP addresses, so I can't use them directly. In the meantime, I added Open DNS to resolv.conf, but I still get errors from Google DNS. Do I need to reboot to apply changes to resolv.conf?
You likely need to send a HUP to tor to get it to re-read your DNS configuration.
Maybe Google DNS is not reliable from your location, so you could put another name server first? Or perhaps investigate resolving your VPS DNS manually, then using their IP addresses as well?

I'm not sure how many DNS servers are configured because I never configured them. I just installed Tor and edited the torrc file with my port, exit policy, and bandwidth options. Where would I add/configure DNS servers?
Typically, by editing /etc/resolv.conf. But some platforms automatically generate it using the files in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/
It should be fairly straightforward, if not, search the Internet for a HOWTO for your platform.
