A great way to start a religious war is to discuss domain name services. I previously documented my experiences with BIND 9 on FreeBSD, and I really didn't want to repeat the process for my small lab network.
Looking in the ports tree I found Dnsmasq, "a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server. It is designed to provide DNS and, optionally, DHCP, to a small network." Wow, that sounds perfect (but I don't need DHCP).
I decided to try this on a Debian host that had a fully populated /etc/hosts file.
macmini:~# apt-get install dnsmasq

udp6 0 0 :::53 :::* 3279/dnsmasq
Note that by default, no DHCP server is started.
That's it. Now I point all my hosts to the IP address of this Debian box, and it resolves local and remote IPs. I made sure the Debian host had my ISP's DNS servers in its /etc/resolv.conf file. Easy.
