Thanks - I'll take a closer look and see if I can wrap my head around it.

and to the list - I think that dnsmasq will do what I want, since it allows
specification of a DNS server for the DHCP clients, and can be configured
to not be the DNS server for the host, leaving it to use the router and ISP
servers.
