The most popular public servers are the root servers. My default install
of bind allowed only localhost access. Latency for a lookup may be around
a few hundred milliseconds. Repeated lookups are nanoseconds as they are
cached.

Description: BIND - Berkeley Internet Name Domain - Name Server
two commands to install and run this from gentoo:
emerge bind
/etc/init.d/named start
