So far as I can tell, and Ive been using RHL and its successors since
RHL 3.0.3, "caching nameserver" is a term invented by RH.
I don't think so.
You mightn't, but I did a little googling.
If my memory is good the caching nameserver or cache only nameserver go
back a good deal further, maybe even before Linux. I'd have to dig out
old old versions of named and read the docs but I think it may even have
been used in the documentation of the time.
I just did a bit of digging around, but the ISC repo's down atm.
Certainly "cache" and variations are appropriate, and they now use the
term "caching nameserver" quite freely.
