Actually this setting can be configured through the GUI:

"Network Services" / "DNS". Then see the "Advanced" tab. It's the option
that's called "Cache Record Lookups". The mouseover help text explains
it: "Enabling caching, also called recursion, allows resolution of
domains and network zones that other name servers are authoritative for.
Disabling caching is useful when operating this server on a private
network."
