  Sorry, but what kind of hierarchy does it defeat? If client's query
can't be satisfied from provider's DNS cache, and doesn't refer to
domain which is hosted on ISP, then provider's DNS server will make
first query to root DNS server, and then will walk down domain hierarchy
(e.g. .ua -> .dp.ua -> atlantis.dp.ua). So setting client's DNS to directly
query root servers defeats just the provider's DNS cache.

  Not us ;)
