Look in /etc/named.conf. I have never used Yast to do this one. Which version is this, mine (8.2) only has DNS and Host Name, which wouldn't be editing named.conf. Maybe you have 9.0 and they have added this capability. Anyway, try editing /etc/named.conf, it is a simple enough change, and easily done following the comments in this file.
I uncommented this line. There is also more in this file ...
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
This should allow your name server to always be reachable, and it will cache the addresses of your recently used names.
