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.

One more question. How do I go about viewing the DNS cache? I know it's stored in memory but it there a way to view it?
