DNS Cache

[Kevin Darcy]

You can make _ad_hoc_ queries of your cache just by running normal
DNS queries against your nameserver. Anything non-authoritative is from
a pre-existing entry in your cache, or was just put there as a result of
your query.

If you want to see *all* of your cache, then dump it using "ndc
dumpdb" or an INT signal to the nameserver. For even more detail -- at
the expense of greater memory consumption -- enable the
"host-statistics" global option. Then the dump will show you not only
*what* is in the cache but from *where* it learned that information.
