If you're on a closed network and not using forwarders, then you'll

need a hints file and associated hints-file definition in named.conf,

course, but even so, we're still not talking about adding a great deal
of additional care and feeding...
It's not much, I'll gladly concede, but

I've frequently run into a problem that the stub resolver just isn't
very dynamic in its selection of name servers - especially when dealing
with time-sensitive apps

Rather than applying lipstick to the pig, why not run a local
caching-only resolver? Move up and out of the stub-ville slums. A local
instance of named doesn't take up that much server resources (disk,
memory, CPU), and pays you back by *not*, as a stub resolver does

A more clever resolver, or a simpler caching setup locally would be ideal.
like the one below, the xNix box will ALWAYS query the first
DNS server, event if it's down. So, every single DNS query (think of how
many reverse lookups a mail server, or Kerberos will do), there's a 2
second delay.
