Here's a question that is either related to both topics or not: Can you make your NS authoritative locally and also do a caching DNS, or should you really do two separate NS? (To do local DNS, and then speed up lookups to the outside world.) The reason I wonder if this is related is that when going through the DNS HOWTO, I didn't spend much time with the caching server, and don't know if I got it working right but just jumped to the local one (and deleted the db.root reference) I think I'm close.
