All you need to get a local name caching on a server is to do a yum install caching-nameserver Then, chkconfig --add named Finally, service named start Then make sure named listens on all IP addresses (if you don't need only local access) and tell clients to use this server for dns queries. Then if you absolutely need to use your astaro, you'll have to modify your config file as stated by another poster. Hope this helps. BTW this is all from my memory... you may have to know what you are doing ;).
