If he does, then he has caching at (at least) two places, in Dnsmasq (which is a caching forwarder) and in the real recursive namserver to which Dnsmasq forwards all queries. If memory serves, he was using Google Public DNS for the latter. For those who are tired of outsourcing their recursive DNS nameservice to, e.g., Google the second-nosiest company on the planet (next to Facebook) or to anyone else, IMO look no further than Unbound: http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Network_Other/dns-servers.html#unbound (Unlike authoritative DNS, recursive DNS doesn't require administrative knowledge or attention. It just runs for you. All you need do is point an /etc/resolv.conf line at it, once you have it running.)
