    instead of an ssh tunnel, how about simple port forwarding?

    /etc/resolv.conf
    nameserver 127.0.0.1

    And then whatever it takes to forward 127.0.0.1:53 to a dns that is listing on
    some other port?

    hmm, I think running a local caching dns was mentioned, but the parts that may
    have been un-verified:

    man named

            -p port
                   Listen for queries on port port. If not specified, the default
                   is port 53.

    man named.conf
              everywhere there is an address, there is also the option to specify port: (
    ipv4_address | * ) [ port ( integer | * ) ]
