A private caching DNS server has worked excellent for me. With a
properly tuned named.conf file, it can only be queried from `internal'
addresses and keep a local copy of your domain's zone files up to date.
It also makes a lot of sense when you're using a dialup link, because a
lot of the DNS traffic is cached and you don't have to query your ISP's
name server each and every time you hit that link in Netscape ;)
