I use a mixture of Bind for Linux and Simple DNS Plus
<http://www.jhsoft.com> for Windows. SDNS Plus is really a terific
piece of software, and I run this way at home and have been for years
(as I don't have a spare Linux box to put it on).

SDNS Plus also allows you to change the DNS port, and you can then do
mapping in the firewall (if you are careful), thus getting away with
one NIC in the server.
