Hola Jon
If you haven`t a reliable connection, better use a slave DNS server on your
box.
It will fetch the DNS tables from your ISP.

I am setting up a mail router here at work, I realise that the box I am
running qmail on needs also to be running DNS. Is it okay for this to be
a name-caching only server with forwards to my ISP's DNS server?

doesn't use /etc/hosts etc. but that's a different fairy-tale.)

Just a quickie.
Does qmail use resolv.conf to to its DNS lookups? If not, then what's

How are you starting qmail-smtpd? Are you using tcpserver or inetd? What

One possible solution, set up an outbound only relay machine in the DMZ
that only accepts SMTP connections from your mail store machine and does
not perform any DNS lookups
