Forwarding DNS
Can I setup a DNS forward for my LAN to point to my ISP's DNS servers for internet name resolution? As I'm on a high-speed connection, and my provider has already implemented their own caching DNS servers, it seems (at least on the surface) silly for me to implement my own caching-only server. This way, I can choose to implement direct forwarding to my ISP's servers, or use an internal caching-only server, and have it transparent to the LAN.

It's not silly to implement your own DNS cache. Why not try dnsmasq?

The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from.
