I am about to purchase the new AEBS and was wondering if it has built in DNS service to resolve local hosts that the DHCP service assigns.

I've noticed that some higher end (business class) routers do not have it's own DNS service and assigns the external ISP's DNS to DHCP clients. Cheaper routers like the WRT54G assigns itself as the DNS server for DHCP clients.

The reason I need this is to resolve IP address for Windows hosts from a Mac and vice versa. An external ISP DNS will not resolve hosts on the local network.
