You could actually do both.  Run dns for anyone that can reach it, but
provide the
hosts file for those that can't.  All you need is someone to run it on
whatever they
have their access point connected to rather than on the access point itself.
Alternatively make the DNS available over the net vpn style or something,
for those
that can/want to use it.  Got a linux box that doesn't do a lot here, just
don't have
a connection to the network at the moment :)
