Re: [gentoo-user] local caching DNS?
I just use bind - setup to lookup from my ISP's nameservers and cache only. The main reason for this was my ISP's ones are very slow (sometime 0.5 s to resolve!) - turning on the cache made an enormous difference to the perceived performance.

However, udhcpd cannt be coaxed to write the servers to the new file, am I missing something? But it's not too bad, I don't reboot often.

I use dnsmasq, can be used as a LAN cache too (by simply allowing requests from a given interface). Took me about 30 minutes to configure.
