Mayeb that's the problem?

Howso? You still need internet access to hit the recursive.
Mindless routers (which are frighteningly many) that cache the results and won't show the true state of upstream connection, which is an important thing. There are a lot less transparent HTTP proxies that wouldn't respect no-store than mindless routers trying their best to cache results.
Don't need internet access to read a cached record from a DNS service on localhost, on the LAN, etc.
