I used AT&T for my cable modem service in Nashua, and I run my own
DNS server on my Linux multi-purpose (including firewall). I just set
it up as a real DNS server, I have never had any problems. In fact, I'm
very happy with my cable modem service, perhaps just because I wound up
working around the one issue you've found.
I think that I learned how to setup up BIND from a HOW-TO available
at www.linuxdoc.org.
