If a client send a query requesting for a particular web page to the DNS server and if the DNS server resolves the page from the other DNS servers & it will be store the same page in the DNS cache and it will give the response to the client with the requested page. If again the same web page is requested by any client then DNS server will get the web page from the DNS cache instead of again fetching the same page from the internet. With this there wont be any delay for the client to get the web page. This helps in bandwidth control. This is how the DNS server caching works.
