consider maradns

- It is a recursive dns client/server (and authoritative server if
desired), described in Portage as "Proxy DNS server with permanent caching>.

- It is extremely fast

- It avoids your ISP's DNS server entirely (your ISP's server may be out
of date; poisoned; very slow; etc.)

- Download the current version from the web page, as the ebuild is out
of date (sigh... of course).
