Deciphering the DNS Cache

Asked by waltb123 in Domain Name Service (DNS), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Cisco PIX Firewall

I was just curious, when I type in the following command on a Win2003 server

ipconfig/displaydns

and I see an entry like

Record Name . . . . . : pdns6.ultradns.co.uk
Record Type . . . . . : 1
Time To Live  . . . . : 23732
Data Length . . . . . : 4
Section . . . . . . . : Additional
A (Host) Record . . . : 204.74.115.1

How do I discover what PC on our network or process on our server, etc, made the request to our server thereby creating that listing in the DNS cache?
