Whenever that is true, there is a problem with the ISP DNS. Often they will 
move their primary DNS servers and not tell anyone or do a really poor job of 
it. Their previous primary DNS can sometimes fall into neglect, and no be 
updated properly or at all, in which case the request will timeout and your 
secondary DNS server, if specified will be queried. If that fails, then it will 
go down the list of DNS servers you or the DHCP server have specified, until it 
runs out, then the root hints will be queried, if your DNS server is configured 
with root hints. 

All of that is for naught however, since he specified that the only sites he is 
having a problem with are HTTPS sites. DNS problems would be pervasive.
