I think caching-nameserver is only a special configuration for bind to
allow only caching.

I think you're ok with only bind, as you can configure it as you want.

Summary: The configuration files for setting up a caching name server.
Description:
 The caching-nameserver package includes the configuration files that
will make BIND, the DNS name server, act as a simple caching
nameserver. Many users on dialup connections use this package along
with BIND for this purpose.

If you would like to set up a caching name server, you will need to
install the caching-nameserver package and bind.
