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 resolvers again (unless the timeout value on the record has been reached).

Hello list,
in several posts I have noticed people refer to a "caching nameserver". What exactly is that? Would BIND 9.3.1 qualify? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Devin
