Ahhh.... a more complete picture now, is tinydns residing on the same box? dnscache cannont be authoritive, so you need dnscache to refer to tinydns for the private domain. First you CANNOT bind both tinydns and dnscache to the same address. As resolv.conf generally points to localhost first, you need to bind tinydns to 127.0.0.1. Then you bind dnscache to the actual interface (stock is 192.168.1.254) and have your private clients use this internal address as their DNS server. Setup this way, the clients will poll dnscache which will in turn poll tinydns. It appears that you are attempting to run dnscache authoritive, which breaks several RFC's and is NOT suggested. Bind the interfaces/address'es as noted above. Setup the services through the lrcfg menu, as that is where they are to be configured running DJB's daemontools instead of the typical init.d scripts.
