caching dns lookups



Hi.

I have RH7, and I tried to configure DNS caching.
Excuse me, but I drownd in documentation and configuration files.

I've installed caching-nameserver rpm and I am running `named'.

I'm guessing that resolv.conf should contain a line as

	nameserver 127.0.0.1

so that bind (?) would know to ask localhost for names, and that some
vague named configuration file should contain the remote dns I wish to
access.

Is my guess correct? If not - why what I did does not work (repeated requests
still take half-seconds)? Why dns caching is not the common configuration for
linux workstations? Or is it?

Dan.
