By default dnscache gives you a 1M cache, which is configurable via /service/dnscache/env/CACHESIZE and even gives you tools to see how effective it is (see: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/cachesize.html ).
It is very nice, useful - except that djb has weird and wonderful ideas about dns, it needs a lot of patching (and idiosyncratically written patches at that) for v6 etc etc. You might try this - Package: pdns-recursor Priority: extra Section: net Installed-Size: 1344 Maintainer: Matthijs Mohlmann <[email protected]> Architecture: i386 Version: 3.2-4 Replaces: pdns Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6~), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), liblua5.1-0, libstdc++6 (>= 4.4.0), lsb-base (>= 3.0-6), adduser Recommends: pdns-doc Filename: pool/main/p/pdns-recursor/pdns-recursor_3.2-4_i386.deb Size: 548202 MD5sum: 076639760dd9753a711774f30cdc8fdc SHA1: 3ab18085e7d3b6130996276226306ab47ab569c5 SHA256: 9e0121bbbf513b457457d7c58220841694cf0f8e5d2ab0040df1cd453a215108 Description: PowerDNS recursor PowerDNS is a versatile nameserver which supports a large number of different backends ranging from simple zonefiles to relational databases and load balancing/failover algorithms.
