 Both the PowerDNS Authoritative and the PowerDNS Recursive Servers are available in source form, as well 
 as installable Linux Packages. PowerDNS is shipped with many Linux and UNIX distributions, including Debian,
 FreeBSD, Gentoo, NetBSD, SUSE and Ubuntu.
 Users of these distributions may find they already have a copy of PowerDNS available, often in the package 
 called pdns, powerdns-server, pdns-recursor or pdns-server.

  4.2: Add a zone for the local domain:
  zone "home.lan" IN {
      type master;
      file "/etc/bind/zones/home.lan.db";
  };
  4.3: Also add a zone for reverse dns lookups for the local network:
  zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
  type master;
  file "/etc/bind/zones/rev.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa";
  };

• *rndc dumpdb -zones This will create a dump of the server's authoritative data called cache_dump.db, probably in /var/named/data (or similar). From: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=903651 Last night I spent about an hour looking around google for how to dump and view the cache of a bind dns server. I just wanted to post this thread on how to do it so maybe next time people search they will able to find it easier Bind 9 makes it fairly easy to dump and view the cache of a caching BIND DNS server. All you have to do is run under root: rndc dumpdb -cache**

  This will create a file called named_dump.db in the /var/cache/bind/ directory. You can easily open this .db with your 
  favorite text editor.

  If your instance of BIND is chrooted, for example to /var/lib/named/, then the cache dump file will be 
  located in the /var/lib/named/var/cache/bind/ directory.

  The dumpdb feature of rndc has other options including a -all or -zone flag. Check 'rndc --help' 
  for more information. For more information you can check out this HOWTO i drafted.
