Can anyone confirm this?

100 points to that man, your spot on thats why even if you have specified another dns or have your own dns. If you traffics being cached (which most peoples is) then the web/proxy/traffic server is going to be doing its DNS lookups using the NTL caching DNS clusters. So you will find that thinks that aren't affect by the traffic server (FTP is an example) will probably work ok.
