    Hello,

    If you think the problem is on your ISP DNS servers, you have two
    alternatives:

    1) Set up a local DNS server on all the machines of the network.

    2) Set up a DNS server on one machine, that answers queries to all the
       machines of the network.

    If you want more detailed information about them (like how to set them
    up), ask me.

    Best Regards,
    Ale
