Well... you might be a bigger target then you think
One thing I've thought of is this, it's not likely that as an individual user with an individual DNS server that you will be targeted, but keep in mind, the attacker could just as easily hijack through the DNS server of your ISP.

So, if you are on comcast or something of the sort, and the attacker is hijacking it's cache, your internal DNS server is still likely to get it's answers from the ISP's DNS server.

Food for thought.
