Well looks as though the Netgear router won't do DNS.  Your options 
appear to be either...

a) Live with the problem.

b) Get a Linksys WRT54GS or similar and run OpenWRT on it (they're quiet 
as mice).

c) Get maybe one of those other Linksys devices, the NSLU2? and run 
Debian on it (again, another quiet option I would expect).

or d) Get a Viglen MPC-L and run something on that.

Looking at the prices, I think the Linksys WRT54GS option might be the 
cheapest if you can get the right model (I was lucky enough to get a 
cheap one off a mate).
