Run bind locally on your laptop. There's a Win32 version available if
you're not running some sort of Unix or Linux on there. It's what I do
as my ISP's DNS is wonky at times, as is $ork's as they choose to use
Active Directory for DNS.
Setup different named.conf files for home/work/travel/etc, and a trivial
batch file or shell script to copy the relevant named.conf file into
play and run rndc reload, and you're good to go.
