DNS routeing is actually DNS serving.

You need to install a DNS server and set it up properly to recive requests and forward them to the ISP's DNS server.

In slackware i know they include a small and very eazy to configure one but the name escapes me at the moment.

Im not sure what you mean here. Iptables is the program used to interact with the routeing tables with the kernel.

read the man page for iptables for more information.
