I use pdnsd which is great for home use, moreover it caches the data on
the disk not on RAM so it is still there after a reboot. Pdnsd setup is a

involved.

red hat comes with a caching-nameserver rpm which has the template config

it just stores the dns queries, till a certain time. When someone fires
a related query, it can use the stored info for reply.
