Easyest is to actually have your own Internal DNS Caching Server. Configured in a way it has alterative forwarders, it will take care of serving all internal clients, and fail over to the next available forwader. As you are customer of both providers, they should accept request from this DNS Server, and your prolbem is solved. One advantage is also, that your DNS Requests will be served way faster than through the ISP Link, and you don't need any special configuration on any other device to have this setup working.
