You can, but it would be not really practical. There are simpler way to
make run what you (probably) want.

Which host does need internet connection occasionally?

You don't want to run a public DNS. If your aim is to allow local
network hosts to be able sometimes to get an internet connection for
updating i.e., you then need a gateway that does NAT. This is pretty
easy to be done with Fedora Linux and iptables.
