Sorry, but this is startin to look a lot like a complicated solution to a pr=
oblem that isn't really there...

Why not just point from resolv.conf to localhost, run a caching and/or recur=
sive dns-server there, and point it whereever?

As far as I can tell, that'd solve everything, add caching, and let it all b=
e controlled from the config of the DNS-server?
