If you're resolving names on the Internet via your own
caching/recursive server, then yes -- this information gets cached in
the memory attached to the "named" process running on your machine.

Any more efficient than what you've already done? No, not that I
know of. Now, odds are that there may be more secure configurations
(depending on whether or not you allow external recursive queries to
be made to your machine), but not that would be more efficient.
I'd recommend that you search the archives of this list for more
pointers on how to set up your servers for maximum security as well
as performance.
