    Hi,

    In my point of view you do not understand what's the difference between
    caching proxy and caching DNS.
    But main difference is that caching proxy is used to cache web requests
    and responses (http, https, ftp), while DNS cache is used to chache DNS
    queries and responses (when you ping www.dir.bg and you recieve
    194.145.63.12 this is request "what's the address of www.dir.bg and
    response is "address is 194.145.63.12").

    What are you trying to achieve?

    DNS caching: Squid, BIND or anything else?

    My question is what's the difference between Squid DNS caching and BIND
    and other programs that cache DNS requests?
