You can run a caching DNS. I use the following "named.conf" file:

# modified "named.conf" to cache only
options {
	directory "/etc/namedb";
        forwarders { 193.172.127.93; 193.172.127.94; };
        forward only;
};

zone "." {
	type hint;
	file "named.root";
};
# end of named.conf

You have to edit the ip addresses of the forwarders directive to reflect
your ISP DNS servers. 
Change the nameserver entries in "/etc/resolv.conf" to one entry with 127.0.0.1

It is very instructive to investigate the cache after some emailing or
websurfing. The cache can be dumped to a file with "ndc dumpdb" or by
sending a hup signal to the named process.
