If someone does a nslookup on http://foo.bar, can I set up something on the foo.bar server machine to detect that someone tried to DNS lookup the hostname? Are there any requests coming to foo.bar that I can see and detect their origin?

    In general - no. There may be many servers in between caching data. Theoretically if you run the DNS yourself and put timeout to minimum you *might* get the requests, but it's still not guaranteed in any way. – Sami Kuhmonen Jul 29 '16 at 12:32

No, because (generally) DNS lookup of the foo.bar hostname is not at all related to foo.bar server machine.
