So you have no DNS servers running on your own machines at all? And
all of your machines are configured to query your ISP's (or Public
DNS') server for name resolution?

That's right. You could run the server on any machine on your net,
it doesn't have to be the masq box. You should set it up as a
caching server, authoritative for your domain, and point all your
client machines at it.
But I'm a bit confused. If you have routable IPs allocated for all
of your machines, why are you using private addressing and
masquerading in the first place?
