One "cheat" that's easy to do is to add the address of the remote DNS server to the list of DNS addresses supplied by the DHCP server. If the routers support DNS forwarding, you could either add the remote DNS server (or router) addres to all machines via DHCP, or just add the remote DNS server (or router) to the list of servers your local router is forwarding DNS requests to. There's pros and cons - but mostly just be careful to not get circular references (of course)...
