Using OpenLDAP (and probably others) you could setup a replica on every
server. It requires minimal resources, and updates will be virtually
instantaneous.
Another suggestion would be to run caching only dns servers on every box,
thus limiting the traffic to the dns server. This wouldn't be needed if
your webservers were set not to resolve every address coming in.
