On Fedora, two things that you will want to do are:
1. Install the "caching-nameserver" package (ie: "yum install
caching-nameserver").
2. If you want to use the caching nameserver on your local machine, remove
any existing nameservers from /etc/resolv.conf and add a line that reads:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
Also note that if you're using DHCP for your IP address, this won't work,
because dhcpcd will clobber your /etc/resolv.conf file every time it
starts up. I haven't been able to figure out an easy way around this
problem.
