is there a way to monitor DNS requests that come through the local windows DNS cache?

i.e. to see say one line entry for each request, and that line entry would include the detail of whether it was serviced locally, or whether it had to go outside the PC to the next DNS server to resolve

You could use nslookup for view what DNS Server is used for a specific request :

 nslookup [-options] [host] [server]

thanks - but this doesn't seem to indicate whether the lookup actually was serviced by the local windows dns cache or not - at least as far as I can tell as I'm repeating an nslookup here(?) I'm after a way to tell which DNS requests get services by the local windows dns cache, and never have to go out to the first non-local dns server - thanks – GregH Aug 17 '10 at 23:54
