Tool to quickly fill DNS-cache?

[Waltner, Steve]

$ cat hostnames
www.apple.com
www.sun.com
www.sgi.com
....
$ csh
$ foreach name (`cat hostnames`)
foreach -> host $name
foreach -> end

Do this on a machine with your target DNS server setup as its DNS server. If
you don't have host, use nslookup, dig, or any other tool to do the DNS
query.
