Sure, that would work just fine.  My _router_ runs linux.  It runs a DNS 
server.  However it has no way around the satellite modem's built in DNS, so 
it still gets bad responses (if I try to lookup DNS on any other external 
DNS server, it gets rerouted to the satmodem).  I imagine I could figure out 
a way to force the router to try again once the satmodem has poisoned its 
cache, but it was too much trouble last time I looked.

Perhaps it should be using TCPv6 lookups to opendns - I don't know if the 
satmodem can catch those.
