dig(1) - Linux man page ... dig (domain information groper) is a flexible
tool for interrogating DNS name servers.

nscd is a Solaris daemon (perhaps other OSs as well) that caches
gethostbynam()/gethostbyaddr() lookups (and others of that ilk), but not all of
the DNS lookups that SpamAssassin uses (I think SpamAssassin may specifically
bypass some of those by use Net::DNS directly instead of the built-in OS

What exactly is that?
It's a nameserver without local zone information except for
root-hints and, perhaps, localhost.
Would BIND 9.3.1 qualify?
Yes.

Hi
yes Bind will become a caching only name server if you don;t have any
local zone files to lookup. Basically think of it as a proxy with
memory. It will remember previous look ups so it won't ask it's
