Yes. I still think you ought to read the web pages again and perhaps
ask on the djbdns mailing list.

How do I configure a local cache? Right now my machine has a nameserver
line in /etc/resolv.conf telling it to send DNS queries to a cache
on another host. I'd like to run dnscache on this machine to handle
future queries.

How do I configure an external cache? I'd like to run dnscache on IP
address 1.2.3.4 to handle DNS queries from the 1.2.3 network.
