Display DNS Cache?

I know how to clear the DNS cache, but...

Is there a way in Mac OSX to have the DNS cache *displayed*, as there is in Windows? (ipconfig /displaydns)

I realize it may be with the "lookupd" command, however, I have accessed the "man lookupd" (or the BSD System Manager's Manual lookupd).

I find subtitles that I think may apply to me, however, either it doesnt include the actual command, or I am missing it as a result of being new to Mac's.

Hence, my request to someone with more experience than I.

Any idea's? Or is it even possible?

1. It's Mac, not MAC. "Mac" is short for Macintosh. "MAC" is an acronym for media access control, machine access code, or message authentication code, but not Macintosh.

2. Run "lookupd -d" in the Terminal window to get a special prompt. Then, enter the command "allHosts" to show details. Enter the command "exit" to return to your shell.

update: Err, scratch that. This only shows hosts stored locally as in your /etc/hosts file.
update 2: Sorry, I couldn't find anything else. Hopefully someone else can help.
