free local DNS server for Windows?

Wonder if anyone can recommend an open-source DNS server for Windows? It'll be used mainly to handle internal LAN name lookups, and also to do some caching of external domains.

I'm only just starting to get started on looking for this type of program, and came across a program called Posadis DNS server: is it any good? Looking for it to be quick and simple to configure, therefore BIND is out.
