What really would be wanted is a recursive nameserver running locally.

BIND9 can also be run to provide recursive service only (by just not setting up any authoritative service zones), but is pretty slow and bloated.
I'm using it both as an authoritative nameserver for my zones and as recursive for everything else. I also forward google.com queries to appropriate name servers so I can get Google over IPv6. I hope this won't be necessary after June, since they are supposed to make their AAAA records available to the world at large at that point.
