Probably pdnsd. It's a forwarder with a disk-based cache -- which a
lot of people like for workstations/laptops because the cache is
persistent between reboots. It still needs to talk to a recursive
server, somewhere, however, and so does not solve the problem of
sucky ISP recursive nameservers, only compensate for their performance
problems.
