djbdns (dnscache) works fantastic for this.
Just install it with your distro's packagemanager, then run:
$ dnscache-setup
Accepting the defaults will get you a local, caching dns server that
uses the
global root servers. Takes literally about 5 seconds to configure.
If you want it to check your ISP's dns servers first, just prepend
them to the
file:
/var/dnscache/root/servers/@
then add svscan to your start up scripts and start it up.
No hassles. No maintenance.
I use this on all of my desktops.
Here is another vote for djbDNS (aka TinyDNS). I installed it once
and have been using it for years. It works great.
