If you don't already know bind, I wouldn't bother to learn it for a caching
DNS server; it's big-time overkill.  Try djbdns, it should be at least as
secure (if not more so), plus easier to setup/maintain.
http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html  If you decided to go with bind, I know of a
good document that tells you how to set it up to run for caching only.
Later,
