If you install your own DNS server, like BIND, it works like a DNS
server ought to.  Walking up the tree to get records.

There's little point in installing a server if you're just going to
forward all queries to another DNS server, you might as well make your
life easier by just configuring your network to use that server.

But, yes, you can blackhole various annoying domain names so that they
fail quickly.  I've done that for many years with BIND.
