Dns Cache -- Thanks for any help

The setup:

1. Win2K dns servers with forwarding enabled.
2. Win2K Pro and XP Pro workstations.
3. T-1 internet connection.

When a workstation cannot resolve a browser request and the request is sent
to the local dns server and it cannot locally resolve but must forward the
request to the internet, does the local Win 2K server cache the results from
the remote internet dns server that was used as a forwarder?

Without editing the registry, is there a "more safe" method of increasing
the size of the Win 2K server's dns cache?

I'm considering any and everyway to speed up the internet browsing as you
can tell.

Thanks for everyone's comments,
