  Right.

  No, why contents from ISP? Local resolver will populate cache from root servers, no?

  This is a glitch that when you are at home the cache still has office domain addresses cached, to which you can not connect, because you aren't connected to the office network. Do I understand it right? IMO, that's not bad cache.

  Sure, no contention there. IMO, that could be a feature for NM, to clear local cache on interface change. Because NM is suitably placed to do that.

  IMO, local resolver can help here.
