Reminder, I maintain a bestiary of all 'DNS Server (and Related) Software
for Linux' by category, here:
http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Network_Other/dns-servers.html

Candidate (maintained) open source recursive resolvers for Linux are:
o bind9 (has baggage; see page)
o Deadwood
o dnscache (from djbdns), if patched to modern standards
o PowerDNS Recursor
o Unbound

For various reasons out of scope here, I would generally recommend
Unbound. (I'm sure Deadwood is really good and competitive, but am
unsure of its packaging status. Disclaimer: Sam Trenholme, author of
Deadwood and MaraDNS, is a friend of mine.)

Correct.
