It does not put the resolved addresses in any file when caching instead
it keeps them in an in-memory database. That guarantees very fast response
times as long as your machine is not swapping this RAM to disk but in
turn you'll loose the cached information if you restart the process.

Look here:

-> http://www.nominum.com/content/documents/bind9arm.pdf
for hints on how to configure BIND.
