What regulations, exactly?  Do you require a carrier license to pass
Internet traffic over a private network?

Okay, so how does this work?

Say, I've got a PC running DNS software as such that:

Internet <->  net gateway (running DNS server) <-> LAN <-> melbwireless-gw
(also running DNS server) <-> melbwireless clients

Is this fine?
and how far is that from running one name server on the net gateway box?  Or
even closer still, how different is that from NAT'ing the packets through
the net gateway to globaly DNS?

Mmmmm indeed.  That would be REALLY nice.
