If your provider's DNS server is unreliable, perhaps try a work around
and use OpenDNS? Their nameservers are at 208.67.222.222 and
208.67.220.220. You have to hardcode that into resolv.conf, and run
dhcpcd with '-C resolv.conf'.

Hannelore: Sure thing, but I can only eat slices that have an even
number of toppings on them.
Marten: Couldn't you just, like, put an extra piece of pepperoni on an
odd-toppinged slice and even it out that way?
Pintsize: Couldn't you ALSO take a topping off, if it was an odd number?
Winslow: Or you could multiply any odd-numbered slice by any
even-numbered slice! Math is delicious!
