Page caching:

• If enables, page caching will only be used for anonymous users.

• If you enable page caching, the entire HTML of each page will be stored in the database. This significantly reduces the amount of queries needed.

• This automatically means that blocks will also get cached, disregarded their own cache settings.

• If Varnish is configured, this will also enable varnish caching

• The page cache max-age will be used (see below) for each page.

• You can check the "X-Drupal-Cache" HTTP header to check if this cache is HIT.

Block caching:

• If you enable block caching, without enabling page caching, the block cache settings will be used (for anonymous and authenticated).

• The defaults for most blocks is "don't cache" because that is the default for blocks who don't have their cache settings specifically declared.

• You can use block_cache_alter module to set this for each block.

• When it's block created by Views, you can set the cache settings for a block in Views.

How DNS server caching works?

If a client send a query requesting for a particular web page to the DNS server and if the DNS server resolves the page from the other DNS servers & it will be store the same page in the DNS cache and it will give the response to the client with the requested page. If again the same web page is requested by any client then DNS server will get the web page from the DNS cache instead of again fetching the same page from the internet. With this there wont be any delay for the client to get the web page. This helps in bandwidth control. This is how the DNS server caching works.
