Somebody in the thread at some point said:

Running your own caching DNS resolver is not too hard with djbdns and
bind in the distros.  But even then you have to "blindly" trust the root
servers...

I think DHCP is the answer, maybe when the ASU applet for WLAN is
working and the NetworkManager replacement is up it won't be an issue.
