If they don't have any special DNS requirements, why not move their
domain to a registrar that provides DNS services.

I'm using godaddy.com for all my domains ... their DNS service is rock
solid and quite flexible.

I'm always a bit leery of running a DNS server on my own systems ... in
the *nix world BIND, the standard DNS server, has been kind of
susceptible to security issues.  Obviously this wouldn't be the case on
an iSeries.

Of course, the extra traffic on the line can't help much. :)
