dump cached lookups to flat file?

[Guest]

Is there any way to dump the db of cached lookups in Windows DNS to a flat
file? Like many MS Gui tools, DNS plug in seems utterly useless once you
get an inch off the beaten path.

Otherwise, what files does the DNS keep this information stored in in its
native format?

This may go some way to providing what you want -

dnscmd <nameserver FQDN or address> /zoneprint .

DNSCMD is provided as part of the Support Tools on your Windows
installation media.

Thanks for the tip!
dnscmd <server> /zoneprint ..Cache
did the trick!

The output of the DNSCMD syntax you used is near identical to that of
the one I supplied, is there something specific that I'm missing that
differentiates the two?

I had stumbled across dnscmd and had followed the syntax of the dnscmd
help just prior to seeing your post. Effectively, however, both solutions
seem equal:

dnscmd /zoneprint /?
Usage: DnsCmd <ServerName> /ZonePrint [<ZoneName>] [/Detail]
<ZoneName> -- name of the zone (use ..Cache for DNS server cache)
/Detail -- explicit RPC node contents
