I've been running it for over two weeks. 

the return information on an MX record is different than
bind. It returns less information and doesn't seem to
send the oversized DNS packets. If you read about dnscache
it talks about how it works better with qmail.

dnscache MX lookup:
bash$ nslookup
> set type=mx
> inter7.com
Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

Non-authoritative answer:
inter7.com      preference = 10, mail exchanger = vast.inter7.com

bind MX lookup
> inter7.com
Server:  ns1.inter7.com
Address:  209.218.8.2

inter7.com      preference = 10, mail exchanger = vast.inter7.com
inter7.com      nameserver = ns1.inter7.com
inter7.com      nameserver = ns2.inter7.com
vast.inter7.com internet address = 209.218.8.20
ns1.inter7.com  internet address = 209.218.8.2
ns2.inter7.com  internet address = 209.218.8.3
