This is already implemented in NetworkManager. I believe dnsmasq-base is included by default in Lucid (in Karmic too I think). You only need to select "Shared to other computers" when edit the IPv4 settings of a network connection [1]. As to caching DNS, I agree that it could significantly speed up the loading of certain websites. I'm going to try installing dnsmasq and see how it works out for me.
