Here is how I did local DNS cache with OpenDNS.

Hope others find it helpful.

// File /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf

options {
    .....
    .....
    forward first;
    forwarders { 208.67.222.222 ; 208.67.220.220 ; };
};

// OpenDNS redirects www.google.com to their own server
//    http://blog.opendns.com/2007/05/22/google-turns-the-page/
// I do NOT like it, so following stops/corrects it

zone "google.com" {
        type forward;
        forwarders {
                216.239.32.10;
                216.239.34.10;
                216.239.36.10;
                216.239.38.10;
                };
        forward only;
        };

zone "l.google.com" {
        type forward;
        forwarders {
                209.85.139.9;
                64.233.179.9;
                64.233.161.9;
                66.249.93.9;
                209.85.137.9;
                72.14.235.9;
                64.233.167.9;
                };
        forward only;
        };

Amish.
