greetings
I have a mail system i would like to setup a cache only name server on. 
Basically i want to speed up my lookups.

here is my named.conf
//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
zone "." IN {
	type hint;
	file "named.ca";
};

zone "localhost" IN {
	type master;
	file "localhost.zone";
	allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
	type master;
	file "named.local";
	allow-update { none; };
};

logging {
	channel _default_log  {
		file "/Library/Logs/named.log";
		severity info;
		print-time yes;
	};
	category default {
		_default_log;
	};

};


then on the mail system i want the /etc/resolv.conf to look at the 
local cache before it does a lookup. does this sound right?
what else do i need to configure?
