Yes, it's possible to configure a local DNS server with full record support and eliminate reliance on external DNS providers. You'd need to set up the server yourself, handling updates and maintenance independently. Storage options include SSDs or even cloud-backed solutions for redundancy. This approach lets you run services like Cloudflare or Google's DNS at home without using datacenter infrastructure.

You can configure a DNS server and simply direct requests to the root servers for queries. https://www.iana.org/domains/root/servers

I maintain a standard DNS server with caching, but I aim to fetch every record locally so that network queries stay within the local area.

It seems impossible as you're not a root server. This issue is linked to https://serverfault.com/questions/178931...dns-server
