We were discussing DNS caching and the bind configuration. However, bind is a DNS server whereas we only want a DNS cache that updates itself automatically. Maybe I understood it wrong but on the net I found this link for DNS caching. It uses a package called dnsmasq. It works on my system. First time I do dig google.com it takes 42 ms. second time 2 sec.

I think the issue is more of routing to google.com than DNS. I've been using OpenDNS for a few days now and the difference between Sify and MTNL when it comes to loading google.com is still immense with Sify being the better of the two.
Too bad we can't have Open routing as well :)
