How See what is Cached?

[Alans]

Yes, by improve I meant to have both files approximately same size.
As for my last question, I thought maybe there is an option that makes us be
able to define a shared directory for all DNS server so they all cache data
in one place instead of caching on each server and therefore the issue of
non balanced cache file appears.

Thanks,
Alans

What do you mean by "improve"?  Having both servers cache
(approximately) the same amount of data?  If the reason for the
unbalanced cache content is that you specify a lower size for ns2, you
can "improve" it by increasing the max-cache-size value for ns2 (or
decreasing it for ns1).  If the reason is due to client-side server
selection algorithm (many Unix based resolvers only uses the first
address in /etc/resolv.conf as long as it responds to their queries),
there's basically nothing you can do as the server side operator.

I don't understand this question, if it doesn't mean the size of
cached data.
