Since most (all?) resolver libraries query resolv.conf's nameserver list
in order, your dnscache will _never_ be queried so long as either or both
of your ISP's nameservers are reachable and responding.
I have never found any reason to list a locally-maintained dnscache
anywhere else but #1 in resolv.conf. I'm curious to know if you've found
such a reason.

As noted above, your ISP's nameservers are being queried first. Since (I
presume) they don't know about your domain, what you're getting is not
surprising at all.
