well it depends on your strategy of placing rules, but you can add:
iptables -A INPUT -i EXT_INTERFACE -p tcp -s ISP_IP -d YOUR_IP --dport 53\
 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -i EXT_INTERFACE -p udp -s ISP_IP -d YOUR_IP --dport 53\
 -j DROP

these will DROP all packets from your ISP to your computer on ports 53 on
protocols udp & tcp. i added -i EXT_INTERFACE because i don't know your
FW configuration and your interfaces.
