You can't. At least not yet.

That kills the server

Nobody should use signals to "control" the name server. Ever. For
BIND8, use ndc in channel mode where it talks to the name server via a
(UNIX domain) socket. With BIND9, rdnc should be used. However the
command interface in rndc is feature-light: all that can be done is
reload the server. This will be corrected in a later release.

BTW, if you try setting the name of the cache dump file, current
releases of BIND9 warn you that this is not supported:
	option 'dump-file' is not yet implemented
This should give you a clue about getting a cache dump out of the
server.
