I'm running the Bind nameserver on CentOS 4.2. Can anyone tell me where the cached lookups are stored and whether there is a way to view them?
If you have RNDC configured (can't remember if it is by default) then it will output the named cache to a local file.
$ rndc dumbdb
That will create a file (configurable in /etc/named.conf) containing the named cache (mine is /var/named/data/cache_dumb.db, don't remember if this is the default).
This will not clear the current cache in RAM, just output it to file.
Hope that helps, Andrew
