I've recently broke down and gotten satellite internet service out here in the sticks (zip 39074). It's throughput is useable but the latency is downright terrible. I wanted to look into hosting a local DNS server for caching and reducing the amount of trips up and down the sat link.

I had a couple windows servers at my old house but that is way overkill. At my current spot I don't really have room for the 9 computers I was running in Ohio. I just have my main desktop and 2 laptops + networking gear running now.

Could you guys recommend a decent (preferably free) caching DNS server?
