Good idea, but this defeates the hierarchical purpose of DNS. Now my
caching DNS is always querying the root DNS servers.

And there might be ISPs who disallow outgoing DNS connections to
somewhere else than their own DNS servers.

Additionally, when jacking into someone else's LAN, I usually want to
use their local DNS servers, to resolve local names.
