Hey Ray,Most tiny routers with 64MB ram are able to run a cache dns service while not all of them have the same level such as BIND but rather dnsmasq. I think that it's not always a bad choice and it depends on what other infrastructure needs you have in these remote locations.
Someone mentioned mikrotik and they use some kind of caching daemon which might even be dnsmasq under the hood.
I would first make sure what is the reliability that you need which means if you have a FW and Cisco then you will might want something more then a basic TP-LINK router.(which maybe the right choice...)
Assuming this infrastructure is big enough you will prefer a basic mikrotik for the cost and support.

Hopefully not too far off topic for this list. Am looking for options to deploy DNS caching resolvers at remote locations where there may only be minimal infrastructure (FW and Cisco equipment) and limited options for installing a noisier, more power hugnry servers or appliances from a vendor. Stuff like Infoblox is too expensive.
