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
Try adding
forwarders {
ip-of-MS-DNS;
};
to the options{} section of /etc/named.conf
This will should send all DNS requests it can't handle itself to your MS
DNS server.

I have added what you recommended but I added it to the
/etc/bind/named.con.options file.
This solved my problem. Now I want to be able to view the bind cache so
I can verify that it is caching records. I have searched all over the
Internet with no luck. At most, I can find that the cache is stored in RAM.
Thanks again,
Ray
