That would work, but I'm trying to avoid sending all DNS requests (not DHCP) from the entire LAN through a separate server, IF there is another way. I still suspect there's some configuration file that would address the issue, but a lot of Googling has yet to turn up a solution.
Just to provide a little more information, my LAN is in the 192.168.x.x address range. When I set up shared internet through the second ethernet port, that port takes the address 10.42.0.1 and the laptop attached to it gets an address like 10.42.0.42. Why wouldn't the 10.42.0.x subnet use the hosts file of the machine it's hosted on? It still seems to me that it should work, but I've probably got something configured that prevents it from working.
