Currently I do just use nameservers from my ISP (Hetzner) :

mr-fox ~ # grep ^server /etc/dnsmasq.conf
server=2a01:4f8:0:a0a1::add:1010
server=2a01:4f8:0:a102::add:9999
server=2a01:4f8:0:a111::add:9898
server=213.133.98.98
server=213.133.99.99
server=213.133.100.100

before (till yesterday) I had these too :

#server=194.150.168.168
#server=84.200.69.80
#server=84.200.70.40
#server=81.3.27.54
#server=5.153.48.164

but from the mentioned PDF I got the impression to just use the ISP nameservers + a local cache - which I'm trying now.

BTW The advantage of dnsmasq is to use more than 3 nameservers.

And this is the command I do use to check dnsmasq:

pkill -USR1 dnsmasq; sleep 1; tail -n 20 /var/log/syslog | grep -A 100 'dnsmasq.*: time'
