I once had a similar set up as what you've described as your intention
here. I'll not critique what you've done, but I'll point you to the
handbook, which has a complete section on DNS and mentions what needs to
be done to set up a basic caching nameserver - its here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/dns.html
Hope this assists in some way. Lots of luck!

Stacey
