no - only if you enter your ISP's servers as forwarder which
makes only partial sense because it lowers the effective TTL
and you have more and more cahcings between the origin and
your machine while some of them may ignore TTL at all

a DNS server doing recursion don't ask any forwarder

nice, but you need to understand the contents especially
point 3 and because point 1-8 it is called "recursion"
because you sart to ask the root-servers which tell you
"hey i don't konw the address, but i know who knows .com"
followed by the server for .com answers "well, i don't
know the answer but i can tell you who knows"
