Looking at my Netgear Router (DG834G), it looks like you're right, it just forwards on the DNS requests. What I have done on my internal network is setup a server with dnsmasq and put the entries for my internal machines (about 10 of them) into the /etc/hosts files on the server, dnsmasq then checks the /etc/hosts file first and if it doesn't find what it's looking for internally it then sends a request out to t'internet. Does the job for me anyway, before this I did have bind running on the network but it seemed a bit OTT for my simple network. Have you considered getting a Linksys WRT54G router and running something like OpenWRT on it?
