Since the linux box gets the DNS from the ISP,  all you need is to set 
up a cacheing nameserver on that machine.  Load and run bind, and then 
have the other boxes inside the firewall use the 192.168.0.1 address for 
their nameservice.

When I did this I do not even have to do anything with the named 
configuration files since it is all dynamic and the caching nameservice 
handles it.
