Yes. You can setup BIND on the gateway, and use the forwarders option in
named.conf so that it forwards queries for non-local addresses to the ISP
 name servers. Then just point the internal boxes at the gateway. If you
do not have a registered domain name, then I reccommend you use a
totally bogus one. Otherwise, you might be in for some interesting
times.

If you have any more questions, contact me privately, and I will share
my named.conf file with you.

HTH,
