UDP is UDP. Google needs to have DNS servers here in Israel too. :-)

I've been noticing the same thing, but have not changed to my ISP's  
DNS servers. For frequently used web sites, it should make access  
faster, but for random ones where the ISP's DNS server has to resolve  
them, it may make it slower.  YMMV.
