One might think that, but I find it often not to be the case. I can
recall many networks where the DNS servers returned by the DHCP server
didn't work well at all, and things got a _lot_ better when I manually
configured a couple working DNS servers (e.g. the Google ones at
8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). Around here, Comcast's DNS servers are famously
bad.
