Why not?  Once you're running your own name server, you don't need the
ISP's for using the internet.  You may find, with some ISPs, that you
might need to use their name servers to resolve names within their own
network (their mailserver, newserver, etc.).  You can just put their DNS
server IP addresses into your name.conf as a "forwarder".  Your own
server will then use it for requests it can't manage itself.
