Tinkering with Raspberry Pi 3 - bind9 and bindgraph

Well, I guess I'm back. Not sure for how long, or how frequent, but I think I should keep tab of how I configured my Raspberry Pi 3 as DNS Cache, as well as configure a DNS zone for my local network.

For me, the easiest option to do implement DNS caching is using BIND9 for Raspbian stretch. I am also using bindgraph to gather some cool graphs of DNS queries.

Perhaps, I'll share my process installation, challenges and solutions later. For now, here's a screenshot of my DNS Cache presented using bindgraph:
