Matthew, Just curious - why can't you identify a couple (2 or 3) well known and publically accessible name servers (there are many that fit this description), and then just point your resolver to them? While running a local caching server is fine and well, you'll still have to point that to something on the Internet to resolve non-cached data, so you're back to square one anyway.
