But isn't the point of a caching name server to limit DNS requests over
your Internet connection making things much faster.  If the name server
does not have a named cached it will request the name and cache it.
Each request from you will come from the cache and not 4.2.2.1 above.

In a way that is both good for you and good for those servers you just
listed.
