Quoting Ruben Safir (mrbrklyn-at-panix.com):

Yes. Run Unbound, e.g., bound to localhost. http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Network_Other/dns-servers.html#unbound
How to run Unbound:
1. Install Unbound. 2. Start Unbound. 3. There is no #3.
How to administer Unbound:
1. It literally runs itself, as there's nothing to administer. It maintains its cache of recursive queries transparently, and you don't need to do anything else.
How to configure a host to point to Unbound for DNS:
1. Edit /etc/resolv.conf to point to its IP. In the event of your operating a DHCP host, configure the DHCP server to _send_ hosts resolv.conf directives to point to Unbound's IP.
Cost of running Unbound:
1. It occupies a pretty small amount of RAM. 2. Nothing else.
Advantages of running Unbound:
1. Security. 2. Privacy. 3. Performance.
Why the bloody hell would you be insisting on finding someone to outsource your recursive nameservice to? Do it yourself; it's miles better and unbelievably simple. Don't be one a technopeasant. Honestly, Ruben.
