If you're looking for a low cost windows option for home LAN dns I couldn't reccomend simple dns plus highly enough. (If English is not your native tongue that means I *like* it a lot! ;-) Although it seems to have doubled in price since I paid for it four years ago...
You can host your own domain, or subdomains if you want to but more importantly you can use it to proxy DNS requests, it honours TTL (time to live) of records so that it will cache requests made to the net from your domain but still keep correctly up-to-date. http://www.jhsoft.com/ d.
