I accomlish that (and other Good Things) by running a name server (usually
"named") as a "secondary" on each machine.

To minimize the load on the real "primary" each of these machines looks
to another "secndary" as "primary".

The down side of that is it takes an hour (instead of the advertized 30
minutes) for updates to "get around".

That is not usually a problem.
