How to find which internal hosts still using my DNS service ? Please help

Hello guys,

I am new to AIX .

I have two AIX v5.3 servers running BIND DNS service on them. The plan is to shut down only the DNS service on them, but in order to do that I have to determine which internal hosts are still using the servers to resolve DNS queries.

Can you please advice on how I can do that ??

I have checked /var/adm/messages but I don`t have enough info there: 'RFC 1918 response from Internet for x.x.x.x.in-addr.arpa' - messages only

Thank you in advance !

Tiho

NAME
avahi.hosts - avahi-daemon static host name file SYNOPSIS
/etc/avahi/hosts DESCRIPTION
/etc/avahi/hosts is a file which may be used to define static host name to IP address mappings for multicast DNS. This is especially useful when publishing DNS-SD services on behalf of other hosts. See avahi.service(5) for more information. The file format is similar to the one of /etc/hosts: on each line an IP address and the corresponding host name. The host names should be in FQDN form, i.e. with appended .local suffix. AUTHORS
