Why, yes. Use the "forwarders" directive to point your nameserver to another
DNS server (which should be larger and better connected).
However, a lightly loaded DNS server ought to run just fine unless there is a
problem somewhere. Are you having path MTU problems, or do you have a firewall
somewhere which might be blocking TCP port 53 or something like that?
