You can use Squid to proxy for named and tell it to cache to disk. The
simplest way to configure this (in terms of effort) is to download
webmin-0.78-1mdk.noarch.rpm
from a cooker mirror and then use netscape to open
http://127.0.0.1:10000
with login name root and root password for password, then click the "servers"
tab and configure squid... Perhaps there is an option under BIND 8 which may
also be configured from that same screen.
