I really wonder, when more alternatives were advised to you,
why did you choose the oldest, worst, most buggy and years unsupported
alternative?
Well, on the page that the original link led to this page was linked:
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/CachingNameserver
It suggested some alternative, and I started working through them from the
top. I dismissed bind outright because it looks heavyweight and hard to
configure to me.
Bind configuration can be a bit complex when you have authoritative
domains, secondary servers, and other such complications. But if all
you want is a caching name server, you should be able to simply install
the package and start it up. I don't think there is any configuration
required at all. The only things I can think of that you might have to
do is to grab the root hints file and set resolv.conf to point to the
local nameserver. The first might be done automatically by the
installation and the second (if not also done by the install) would need
to be done regardless of which dns server you use.
