No. The Linux box runs bind for the internal (and external) networks and
does direct queries to the root servers, not using our ISP's DNS. The
internal network is configured with DHCP and the DNS server for all
hosts is set to the linux box internal address. Also, my workstation
(and there are 5 more) is the only one doing this.
