Maybe I am dense, but I found it much simpler to setup Bind as caching DNS than to figure out how to setup djbdns. Perhaps I looked at the wrong tutorials for djdbns, but there are tons of tutorials for Bind. Also worth considering.. beyond caching.. there are services/companies that let you host free DNS.
