You don't want to use bind for a caching server though... too slow for that. I have a caching server on our network, but it has 5 mailservers pointed at it so it makes more sense.

I asked the techs at Rackspace (where we have our qmail toaster) how to, and if they would recommend, setting up a caching name server. They replied to the contrary: > To be honest, this may not provide you with any performance increase, > and may even degrade performance, as doing this will incur an initial > lookup delay on any non-cached domain, whereas using our caching > nameservers you are pretty unlikely to get a cache miss on any given > domain. Are they nuts? (They are sometimes.) But they have local-cachine nameservers they provide, which, from my server, have ping latencies from 0.1-0.2 ms.
