That "router doesn't do dns locally" is where I came in. Most routers of a few years ago *did* do local DNS but none seem to nowadays.
I'm amazed you're finding routers that don't do DNS, I'm sure that every router I've seen in recent years does do DNS. Failing that just pay a few quid and buy something cheap that will run openwrt and let you run dnsmasq for each network.
I bought a TP-Link MR3020 recently for under £20, slapped openwrt on it and took it with me for a 10 day business trip so I had my own access point and DNS (and other nice network things) in my hotel room, if you buy one of these for each network you will be able to setup working DNS.
Failing that a more fully featured TP-Link that will run OpenWrt should not be more than £40-£50 and use that to replace your existing router. If you need something that does ADSL then you should be able to run your ADSL router in bridge mode.
