I don't believe I've seen something that will show that it performed the
name resolution with local information other than a debug trace (OS debugger
attached to winsock I would guess). Would be cool to have a tool that
showed all of that though. Something that shows:
SuperDupernamelookup.exe: looking for RR = name
Checking local cache = not found
Checking local hosts = not found
Checking local lmhosts = not found (could be both) (may be fancy
here and check the length of the query first; if more than 15 chars, skip
this and wins since it won't be there anyway)
Checking name server (wins) = not found
Checking name server (dns) = found RR :: blah blah blah
Something like that contained in one tool would be pretty cool. Today you
can do some of that with several steps and deduction, but not in one tool.
I'd love to hear differently.

Subject: [ActiveDir] DNS queries and actual trace
I was wondering what tools/options are required to get an actual dns lookup
trace, including internal machine cached/hosts file lookups and external
requests to the dns server. Does such a beast exist?
