If you're actually running a local caching name server (bind or dnsmasq), you don't need nscd. Running both is overkill. You're going to waste memory by having everything cached in two different places.

You can't test nscd with nslookup, dig, or host. All of those are DNS tools. They'll use the contents of resolv.conf, but they do not use the libc host lookup functions, and therefore they will not use nscd. If you want to test nscd, you should use "getent host".
