Paul, you use SUSE right?

If so set it up via YAST.  Very easy and make it a caching server only.

Then configure your network to request dns from yourself.  It you have
multiple boxes and one of them tends to be on all the time make it
your dns caching server.

FYI: Last I tried dns fallback is really slow so only have a machine
serve dns to other machines if it truly is available for them to use.
