Nope, I'm referring to DNS.  I point my nameserver on all my machines to my
router's IP, and then it handles handing the request out to the ISP's
nameserver, or possibly caching requests as well to avoid unnecessary
lookups.  Not sure on the latter for my particular model, but I know some
do it.
 
I know that the DNSMASQ daemon does this sort of task, which is what many
of the Linux-based routers use.  DD-WRT that you can flash onto many brands
and models uses it as well I believe.  My router though is still using the
stock Windows CE software.  At least, until I decide to solder a cable onto
it to update its flash with better firmware.
