Has anyone tried running bind9 on the Hobbit box itself and having it hold cache locally?
I do, and it works very well. I'm using the caching-nameserver RPM from Red Hat, so choose the appropriate version for your OS and use it. You'll definitely see a reduction in DNS lookup times. I'm surprised to hear that anyone *wouldn't* be running a local dns server for any unix/linux box running services that require name resolution. It's free, it's easy and speeds performance - a no brainer.
