Ditto again

Though I kind of see this as opportunistic - if the recommended by the network DNS server can be used more securely regardless of anything else I'd like my OS/Client/whatever to be able to take advantage of that. Even if the DNS server isn't "trustworthy" I'm still in a better position than I was using it insecurely and in most cases it's probably trustworthy enough.
