"dnscache" expects to be provided with configuration 
information in various environment variables.  You _could_ 
invoke "dnscache" directly, after setting the appropriate 
environment variables.  But it is far better to use the tools 
that are provided to you.  To set up a service directory for 
invoking "dnscache" with all of the necessary environment 
variables set and files created, use the "dnscache-conf" 
program.  

The "dnscache" manual page does say this, and the tutorials in 
the "djbdns" documentation provide several examples of invoking 
"dnscache-conf".  Read the documentation.
