Strange Behavior on DS18B20 Temp sensor and Pull-up Resistor

No, do not do this, the pull-up should be wired to the Arduino 5V, and this should be the supply powering the sensors too - using different supplies is a recipe for phantom-powering or damaged components. A 4k7 pullup can only ask 1mA, that's not a large load even if you have several of them!!!
