Run bind locally on your laptop. There's a Win32 version available if you're not running some sort of Unix or Linux on there. It's what I do as my ISP's DNS is wonky at times, as is $ork's as they choose to use Active Directory for DNS.
For the sake of the root servers, I hope everyone doesn't start doing this.
Well configured laptops will not put that much pressure on the roots. A single misconfigured / broken recursive name server puts a lot more pressure on the roots than lots of well-configured laptops.
I guess one could argue that the chance of misconfiguration go up as the number of systems goes up.
