No.

And if someone mentions the "ndc dumpdb" command, they're wrong.  You can
save the cache to a file, but there's no way to load it back into memory.

Also, lots (I suspect most) of domains have TTLs that are a day or less.
So even if you could restore it, most of it would expire pretty quickly.
