I'm trying to set up a caching name server on a server on my home network. All the instructions I've been able to find online refer to the caching-nameserver RPM, but that doesn't seem to be available in Fedora 20. So my questions are: * What happened to caching-nameserver? * What (if anything) has replaced it? * Are there any good, easy *current* instructions for doing this? It seems like it should be a fairly cookbook task, so I shouldn't have to learn all about bind to accomplish it.
TIA

As I recall, the caching-nameserver rpm was just the basic zone files for a caching nameserver. So you install bind and set it up following any tutorial you choose for this purpose.
Or you can go with dns-masq which as I recall defaults this way.
