This being the Fedora list, you also have the option of using your own.
Just "yum install caching-nameserver" and edit your resolv.conf to point to
127.0.0.1. You'll need to edit the line in your interface config to prevent
the DHCP client from overwriting resolv.conf. (Is there a GUI to change
that setting? I always do it with a text editor.) Looking at
/sbin/dhclient-script, it looks like you need "PEERDNS=no" in your
ifcfg-eth0 script.
