You can add static records that will be replied to the clients instead of cache or externally obtained records. What more you need?

As mentioned - RouterOS will relay DNS and serve static entries (as well as hold a local cache).

It is for routing, so basic functionality is best - bogging the software down with loading zones or doing lookups from root servers onwards only serves to introduce more complexity and/or bugs.
