If they won't help you, help yourself. Run your own nameserver. Then
just point /etc/resolv.conf to localhost and use a reliable
forwarder. You can use any ISP's forwarding IP's you want to.
It's probably not that easy to set up, but a few thorough reads
through bind's man page and the DNS-HOWTO should get you through.
The advantage is that you never have to worry about which ISP you are
using in regards to configuring for their nameserver. Also, it's
possible to have your nameserver more current and up to date than
theirs. And it can make things a little quicker for you.

Tough call. I rang the tech support of a local ISP here, they asked
me what version of windows am I running... I said I wasn't running
windows, I was running Linux... their response was... "yeah, ok, but
what version of windows are you running?".
