So, you're local DNS is just local entries (presumably non-recursive not
handling entries outside of zones defined there).

You could setup your own DNS server (as you said). It's not hard.
Just setup a zone that forwards out your local DNS zone/server. The
rest will be handled as a simple caching DNS.

That should do it.

That IS the simple way.. and it really is simple.
