I agree!  That's what I do.

Nope... it's a tiny project.  Just make sure your server isn't
publically accessible if you can (so you don't have to deal with
bug-of-the-month patches for BIND), and install the caching-only
nameserver RPM (assuming RH of course).  IIRC, it "just works" without
additional config.  All you need to do then is point your other
systems at it.
