As somebody else said, BIND doesn't cache URLs, but I suspect you are
asking if it will cache zones.  Yes, it will.

Sure.  It will keep it as long as the SOA in the zone tells it to live.
For most zones, this is one day.

So, if you run a local caching nameserver and put 127.0.0.1 in
your /etc/resolv.conf file it should be cached even if you are off-line.
