It's not Bind or perhaps is some sort of hacked out version but 
basically since Cisco IOS comes with it's own DNS server which I have 
dabbled in on my 857W at home, being based round BSD I presume with the 
right OS one could run Bind comfortably on that??

Taken from output of show version: Cisco 857W (MPC8272) processor 
(revision 0x200) with 59392K/6144K bytes of memory.

I'm pretty sure the little 857W would run Bind if someone actually was 
able to build BSD on it or so...... it has 64MB of RAM too so should be 
good enough for at least 5 people. {provided one takes out the systems 
routing capability though as the way I use the router is maxed out lol}
