The first thing I do when I'm trying to diagnose strange behavior of a resolver, is I dump the cache to a file. Later, I end up trolling through it with less and grep, looking for entries (usually incorrect RRSIG or DS records) which will explain the behavior I saw.

I have two questions:

Is there a spiffy cache-file-parsing tool out there, which will make this work easier? I'm thinking of something like what Wireshark does for packet-capture files. "Here is an A-record. Here is its RRSIG. Here is a error, because we don't have a DS over here."

Is there a way to launch an instance of named, convincing it to "freeze in time"? i.e. "Please start, consume this cache file. Consult only your cache, perform no external queries, and do not expire anything." This would let me reproduce the failure-state and dig and delv at my leisure.
