Setting this as Triaged now is a little reaching, but I can definitely
confirm that there is no such option right now in gnome-control-center,
and that this might be the right thing to do (with some design
guidance). Definitely something to look into for 12.10.
At this point however, and with 12.04 that does ship dnsmasq, there
won't be such an option just yet. *However*, dnsmasq is also being
started with caching *disabled*, on purpose. dnsmasq's DNS cache is
global for all users, so activating such cache presents a potential
security vulnerability, which prompted for it to be disabled.
After rework of the actual method of caching at the dnsmasq level or by
using a different tool, with per-user caching being available, we might
then be able to enable caching by default. At this point providing a way
to toggle such a feature will be useful.

No setting exists to enable/disable DNS cache in System
Settings-->Network
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Precise is now using DNSmasq for DNS cache. But no setting is apparent
for disabling this DNS cache for users who do not want a DNS cache.
The UbuntuBrainstorm asking for this feature said that users should be
able to turn on/off the cache:
