Well as nscd offers nothing but name caching, I'm not sure what confusion could lie as regards my requirements. I wish my server to have name caching capabilities and, as stated it will already be running BIND, therefore is this something BIND can handle (therefore no need to add an additional package), or is it outside the scope of BIND and I should add nscd to the server to handle this function.
Please let me know if I need to provide any further details.
