Without a known good authoritative DNS that knows about the target system you have no options. The only thing you need the DNS for is to resolve the hostname to an IP or the other way around. If you don't have a good DNS, you have no hope of matching up hostnames to IPs.

ICMP is the protocol that Ping uses, not DNS. Ping sends an ICMP packet to the hostname or IP specified and waits for a response. If it gets one within the timeout period, the host is considered alive by Ping.

If not, this is in no way an indication that the host is unavailable or down. It just means the packet either never got to the host because of a firewall blocking it (getting more and more common) or it's passing through some hop that filters out ICMP.

Internally, Ping uses DNS to resolve a specified hostname to an IP. You can only talk to IP addresses, not hostnames. If DNS is wrong or not working properly, the Ping will be wrong too.
