Believe it or not, even the big ISPs can be dumb enough even for very simple concerns like PTR and classless DNS delegation. I had to point them to an RFC and send sample Bind config for their DNS to delegate records to my DNS server. This happened to me not only in with one or two ISPS, but with three. So yes, in this matter your own DNS server will help. On the other hand, you also have the burden of maintaining two DNS servers in preferably two different internet links.
