I guess not, since "it" does not work ;-) After deleting all entries, did you : 1) dig @dns.name. ... or 2) dig @IP.address or 3) No "@..." argument used at all ?
In cases 1 & 3, dig will need data from /etc/resolv.conf. Only in case 2 dig can do without.

I was thinking since dig is a standard resolver, it should have the capibility to follow the referrel from root, thus it will work fine even there is no system dns resolving. Am I right?
