Sort of building on this question, and just trying to educate myself, if the 
DSL modem had a caching nameserver:

   1) would your computer need to specify the IP of that modem (presumably) 
192.168.1.254 to take advantage of the caching?

   2) would the caching feature be bypassed if your computer used the public 
DNS name servers (e.g., 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, and 1.1.1.1)?  (Or if they were 
listed before the modem IP address?)
