For whatever reason I can not get dns caching to work on any of my centos boxes. Running Centos 5 and 6. Any thoughts on why these will not run? The services start fine but when telling to perform a dig using itself as the resolver the queries fail (See below).

[root@qmail ~]# ps -aux | grep pdns-recursor root 7908 0.0 0.1 61208 568 pts/2 R+ 11:07 0:00 grep pdns-recursor

This certainly doesn't look like the service started fine. Check the messages and audit log after starting pdns-recursor. If the process is running (it is not in the output you included above), check the same logs after issuing queries as well.
