Not that I know of....

However, you can do a "host -v somehost.com" were somehost is equal to a
host name you've not visited.  The first time you do it you may see
something like:

Received 194 bytes from 127.0.0.1#53 in 1291 ms

But if you do it again, and it is working, you should see something on
the order of:

Received 194 bytes from 127.0.0.1#53 in 1 ms
