yes i need a caching name server that if the address it is looking for is not in cache will goto my Astaro firewall(which has the dns server to query).

Just take the stock setup that Centos will install and add the following in the 'options' section of /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf

forward only; forwarders { nn.nn.nn.nn; nn.nn.nn.nn; }; Replace the nn's with the IP address(es) of reachable servers. Otherwise it has to be able to reach public servers on the internet and get their responses.
