I am running FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE behind a Linksys Wireless Access  
Point and Firewall and a DSL modem. My ISP assigns me a dynamic IP  
address which changes on a regular basis and the root domain and  
Domain Name Servers associated with that domain also change. I have  
seen at least 3 different root domains.

I have a number of machines on my wireless network and I would like  
them to be able to find one another. To do this I have assigned them  
fixed IP addresses.

My problem how to assign the Domain Name Servers for all the  
machines. I point them all at the Linksys, which seems to work most  
of the time, but occasionally network traffic gets really slow and I  
suspect that its a DNS problem.

Can I set up something on my FreeBSD server to help solve this problem?
