Presuming you run your own DNS server on your LAN, it should have a cache
which you can open/view. Or, your proxy server/perimeter router/firewall
appliance may have the option to cache this info.

What exactly is it you're trying to do?

I am trying to create logs I can compare with IPs that spywares phone
home to.

It is something for every desktop rather than the server, for
standalone machines or small workgroups linked to the net.
