Quoting Ray Jette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Sorry if this is off topic. I am using a Microsoft DNS server. I am putting a big load on it with Mailscanner / Spamassassin and MTA RBL's. Would you recommend that I use a local BIND Cache server? Does anyone have any good resources as to how to set this up?

I have installed bind9 and bind-utils. I changed /etc/resolve.conf to be the following:
nameserver 127.0.0.1

When I did this the server was not able to resolve any names. Do I have to forward this name server to my Microsoft DNS server? Can it be configured to use the Root Hints?

Sorry about being off topic.

Thanks for the help.

No I have not. I don't rely think this is what I am trying to do. I want to run a caching DNS server on my mail server to keep traffic off of our primary DNS server. I have an issue where the Microsoft DNS server fails ater heavy load.
