Bind or named

[Shawn Tayler]

All this talk about nslookup has brought a question to mind.

My little lan is getting a bit large to keep manually entering all the host names into /etc/hosts.  I think its about time to 
get a nameserver going around here.  Something that will take a local list and meld it with name service from my 
ISP's DNS.

What are the groups recommendation on this subject?  Pros Cons, etc...
