I do, and it works very well.  I'm using the caching-nameserver RPM from 
Red Hat, so choose the appropriate version for your OS and use it. 
You'll definitely see a reduction in DNS lookup times.

It's still worth understanding the lookup failures you are seeing--try 
adding "--debug" to the bbtest-net command in the [bbnet] section of 
hobbitlaunch.cfg and check out bb-network.log for more details.
