Certainly that situation is not "usual", in the sense that people normally try
to put usable resolvers into /etc/resolv.conf.  However, it's reasonably common
that some sort of network problem like a downed network link, firewall, or
router would cause all non-local nameservers to become unreachable.

It would be nice if local ftp still worked OK if the local machines were in
/etc/hosts or otherwise resolvable (YP/NIS? multicast DNS? NetBIOS naming?)...
