You right about that but....

Maby this will work....
1) Setup a caching DNS server on your linux box.
2) Make you packet filter on your ISB so that it only forwards DNS 
requests from you Linux box. (Assuming your Linux box has static 
IP)
3) Setup your Win95 boxes so that they only request DNS info from 
your linux box and not using a DNS on the net anymore.

Is this posible you think? Comments?
