Using OpenDNS servers with bind9 easily

The OpenDNS FAQ purports to have a solution to this problem, but it does something obscure to a file I don’t have on my system. So I quickly checked the man page and came up with this:
/etc/bind/named.conf.options
//Add this somewhere inside the options{}; section…
forward only;
[...]

Easier local DNS cache

After a while pdnsd stopped working for me, and try as I might I can’t fix it. So I purged pdnsd and found an easier method, with no configuration this time!apt-get install bind9 resolvconf
