Ubuntu releases (for at least the last 4 years) default to this, as do
the Macs in my office. So do the Windows XP machines. Even the printer
does it. I doubt you'll have to change anything at the clients.

Not having control over your own router is another problem. If I were
you, I'd either replace it, or put another router between it and your
LAN, which you do control. OpenWRT and DD-WRT both kick ass, and both
use DNSMasq by default.
