Interesting to get answer in another channel... For both of us.

My question still stands - why would anyone want one part of Asterisk use other 
DNS servers than the rest of Asterisk and the rest of the system? If there is 
something wrong with the system resolver, that needs to be fixed.

I do not see the need for us to have a configuration option here. Someone else 
may have a good reason for it.
