DNS Server for small network (100 clients)

Hi all!

Was wondering and we are debating on the best solution for DNS server for small business setups.

We have different network setups, some with Cisco routers/Switches Catalyst and others/Wlan controllers-ME.

Was wondering in your experience and Cisco wise, if there is generally an ideal setup for DNS. Better have an internal one, or external/forwarding one? Are most of the Cisco devices capable being DNS server and is it effective/reliable also from a machine resource/performance level?

What would be the ideal setup or at least the pros and cons of each one?

Thanks for any hints!

Cisco does not have a DNS appliance. 

It is better to get a dedicated appliance to do DNS.  Alternatively, get one of those "micro" PC to do DNS.
