If your ISP DNS server are timing out, what you can do is to use a public DNS server which could be better than your ISP DNS. you can use these alternative dns server

Open DNS. (https://www.opendns.com/k12/start)
208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.

here is another server you can use which is easy to remember if you are on the go. stick it to your mind

4.2.2.1 up to 4.2.2.6

If you want to know which dns is faster, you can use this tool. (dnstester) http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/DNSTester.aspx

I’m using dynamic DNS on openSUSE 11.1 for PDC+OpenLDAP. The failed DNS resolution has an impact with the LDAP name resolution on Samba. The nss-ldap could not connect to the the LDAP server
