I am setting up a SOHO PHP web server on my business cable account that
allows for running servers. This is a product for small home bound
businesses.
I have BIND working. The website I am hosting :

I am building a home PHP hosting server for learning. I have a
commercial connection to the Internet so no blocked ports and my ISP
allows servers.
unless you are hosting a authoritative zone aka domain on your
nameserver it don't matter what your ISP allows
if you are not hosting any official zone you shouldn't have the port
open to the world because nobody but bots and attackers will ask your
server anyways
I believe I only need a Primary Master Server. Is this the case?
what is your usecase to begin with?
if it's just internal hostnames for your LAN maybe dnsmasq is the
better solution because it can use simple hostfiles like /etc/hosts
and forwards everything else to your ISP nameserver
My question is, do I need to configure a Caching Server?
there is nothing to configure, if you ask your named for something
it's not authoritative it either forwards or doing recursion (depends
on the configuration) and cache the result based on the TTL
In /etc/bind/named.conf.options:
[...]
forwarders {
1.2.3.4;
5.6.7.8;
};
[...]
Do I need to set the forwarders?
no
let named do it's out-of-the-box job which is recursion - i can't
think of any usecase where i do the work setup a nameserver and then
forward everything to a crappy ISP server
after stop using forwarding all random dns problems where gone and
never came back
