Hi suresh,
As you suggested, i have installed dnscache + tinydns.

Here is what i have done

I have installed daemontools, djbdns-1.05.tar.gz and 
doc.tar.gz ( documents for djbdns)

i compiled djbdns and then change the /etc/inittab file as mentioned
but after rebooting the machine, i am getting message
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire dnscache/supervise/lock: temporary 
failure

constantly.

Also i want to clear some doubt about it 
i read the how_to_install document on the website.
after changing /etc/inittab file and creating some directory with 
daemontools i removed my nameserver from /etc/resolv.conf and put
nameserver 127.0.0.1
now nowhere is mentioned where is my isp's dns ,
then how would it resolve the name? when i did dig yahoo.com
it showed me result.

Secondly, i want to make this machine as dns for my LAN. I dont want to 
resolve the name of my machines ,but i want the machines in my LAN to use
this as domain name server for internet also. 
now here is what i did.

i compiled and installed djbdns. installed daemontools.
created some accounts as suggested in documents with direcotries.
then created /service directory and run dnscache-conf for that directory.
I linked the service directory to dnscache directory.
then changed /etc/inittab file for svscan to run automatically.

is it sufficient or i have to do something more ?
where tinydns comes in the picture. ?
