Yes, that simulates the case where no name server is defined at all.

Sounds like a problem with your name server. It should pretty fast determine
that it cannot resolve the host and return with an error.

That would simulate the case where your dhcp server hands out invalid name
servers. Of course that will cause timeouts.
