It's rude to bypass the global DNS caching infrastructure. That would significantly load people's DNS servers with more queries. There is no reason not to try and use ISP's DNS caches.
There is also the case that Chuck mentioned about ISP's name servers being unreliable.

That makes no sense.
Say I have freshly installed my fedora system at home. I then boot it up and start to use it. My laptop is caching DNS results all the while from the "unreliable" ISP.
I then go to work and suddenly things don't work.
Having a DNS cache doesn't fix your unreliable ISP: You need to lodge a complaint with your ISP.
See my previous email, about flushing the cache on network change.
