caching name server

[Alex Neuman]

Put 127.0.0.1 as your primary. Put your other ones as secondary and
tertiary. That way if your caching dns process dies for some reason, you'll
still be able to resolve, albeit more slowly and without caching.

>From the suggestion of the list to add DNS name caching to my MS box, I am
trying to do so.  

When setting up the resolv.conf do I get rid of the nameservers that I
already have listed and replace them with 127.0.0.1?  If I do that how will
my server know where to look for names to fill its cache?
