Right.  Simple job for a Linux box, though I've been trying to leave
mine off to save power & wear and tear.  However, my router (Linksys
WRT54GS, firmware v2.07.1) is *already* a Linux box.  I guess I have
to install third party firmware to get DNS running there.  Anybody
have experience with this?

By the way, the other reason to leave local machines DHCP rather than
static, is that when the cable company moves their DNS servers, your
machines get reconfigured automatically.
