How to find which servers are allowed to do DNS Scavenging

To see which servers are currently allowed to scavenge, run the command 

DNSCmd /ZoneInfo

• If there is a section “Scavenge Servers” at the bottom of the output, then those DNS servers whose IP addresses are listed are the only ones that can perform scavenging on the specified zone. 

• If there is no “Scavenge Servers” section present, then any DNS server otherwise permitted can perform scavenging on the zone.
