How about you?  That's what I'm doing, but only for one machine.  The 
Fedora bind RPM is set up as a caching-nameserver, so just let it do 
its thing (unless your ISP blocks outbound port 53 traffic).  You do 
need to set your server's /etc/resolv.conf to 127.0.0.1, and for your 
other machines, the server's IP, and in /etc/named.conf, add the 
server's IP to the listen-on line, and add your local subnet to the 
allow-query and allow-query-cache lines (I hope I know what I'm talking 
about).  There are some hints in /usr/share/doc/bind-*/sample/etc/
named.conf.
