The current DNS system works pretty well. It actually handles this case rather gracefully, with proper caching there is no real danger. My issue is the relentless pounding openDNS does, and for reasons I am not able to even guess.
It does sound like they're doing something at least odd, if not completely wrong. I suspect it's probably related to the way they substitute opcode 3 (nxdomain) with their own answers -- they're probably making absolutely certain that the host doesn't exist, or something. What you describe seems excessive, though.
