No, but there probably should be. There's a brief mention of it on the
DomainKeys page, but that page is a little outdated anyhow.
In short, you need to install it:
# yum -y install bind caching-nameserver
Then start it:
# chkconfig named on
# service start named
Then change /etc/resolv.conf as follows:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
You can have other nameservers listed after this for backup, but they
shouldn't be necessary.
Then test it with dig:
# dig qmailtoaster.com
; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2 <<>> qmailtoaster.com

Note that the server which answered the query is 127.0.0.1, which is
your caching nameserver, so you're good to go.
Would you care to update the wiki with this Joel? I think you could just
add it here:

Hey Eric,
Is there a WIKI QUICKY for setting up the caching name-server. I've looked
through the QmailWiki and I'm not finding it.
