I'm a bit confused what you're trying to accomplish here.  The only 
reason I can imagine for putting your own caching resolver between you 
and the ISP resolver is if you wanted to override the records for a 
particular zone for some reason.

I suggest that if you're going to use a caching resolver (especially one 
with DNSSEC turned on) that you go right to the root servers.

However, if you're having trouble with your ISPs resolvers (much like 
Comcast subscribers a couple days ago), I recommend trying out dyn.com's 
Internet Guide service.  Simpler than running your own recursive, and 
you get a few nifty features for free.
