You'll need to take a look at the internal state of mDNS. To enable debug logging:
sudo killall -USR1 mDNSResponder # so much data.
Trim the logorrhoea to what you came for:
sudo syslog -c mDNSResponder en
Dump the state of mDNS to the syslog:
sudo killall -INFO mDNSResponder; tail -1000f /var/log/system.log
The section “Network Interfaces” in the syslog output lists the network interfaces on your machine that Bonjour knows about. For any interface which (a) Bonjour believes to be capable of Wake On LAN and (b) Bonjour has discovered a Bonjour Sleep Proxy, you should see a black sun (“☀”) immediately preceding the address at the end of the line, like this:
------ Network Interfaces ------
v4 en0(4) 00:17:F2:CD:7E:0A 00:00:00:00:00:00 v4 0.0.0.0 ⊙ ⇆ ☀ 192.168.1.50
For any interface which (a) Bonjour believes to be capable of Wake On LAN but (b) no Sleep Proxy has been discovered yet, you should see a white sun (“☼”). This means that Bonjour is willing to use a Sleep Proxy on this interface, but hasn’t found one yet.
------ Network Interfaces ------
