You propose to break one of the fundamental DNS scaling mechnaisms by injecting way too many queries into the system for no good reason. The problem you have is broken or misconfigured zones, perhaps out of your control; broken is broken. Alternatively, the name server you've pointed your resolver to is broken, has poor connectivity or is misconfigured. Fix these things before breaking the architecture of the DNS. While you said you've experienced these problems for 15 years, I haven't had these problems such that doing unnecessary queries would have helped.
