<p>A caching only nameserver will work just fine on the LAN as long as the address it holds is participating in NAT on that LAN. I would use something small like dnscache on a router; if you want to also serve DNS for inside the LAN, you will also want to use djbdns. I have a few M4 scripts that make managing DJBDNS easier up on my site at <a href="http://mike.trausch.us/software">mike.trausch.us/software</a>.</p>
