No one has mentioned dnsmasq: http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html

It claims to be fine up to around 1000 clients so if you run multiple
subnets and give each one its own dnsmasq instance, it might be an
interesting option.

I do use it at work (though on a much smaller network, thus my suggestion
that you use multiple instances....)
