True, but you can also run a caching DNS server that forwards to your ISP one and gain a double-benefit traffic wise. You're still using your ISP's servers and their cach, but you're also caching locally.

I see no use in that. Maybe in times when there's trouble with the ISP's servers, but it's rarely the case. And if, I know some other DNS servers to set in the configuration for awhile.

I'm forwarding this issue to the Hetzner support team now. It seems that some other customers have the same problem.
