Speed up DNS Lookup in Linux

When I was first time to use Linux for web surfing, I found it was slower than MS Windows. Recently, I found the reason form the Internet. The difference is due to the DNS lookup speed. In Windows, it caches DNS lookup results but Linux doesn't. To improve the lookup speed in Linux, we can install dnsmasq, which is a light-weight DNS server for Linux.
