I do that here. Dnsmasq runs on a little box on the LAN and speeds up the whole Internet experience. It didn't help though when my router started misbehaving, as it still had to forward some queries and the router sat on those. It was simple enough to reboot the router, once I'd found that was needed. -- Rgds Peter.
