Is there an add-on or script that will check to see if and when a certain named has spawned on the server?

NPC Scan is your best bet, whenever the rare is spotted it will alert you and let you click to target it. So if you are flying over Sholozar and something is spawned, it will pop-up, even if it's just the corpse. For the second part of your question, the only way to see that is if you are close enough to target it, you can't check something like that by popping open a list while sitting in Org. I imagine only GMs can do that...

No, I mean something to see if a named has already spawned recently and has been killed. I have NPC Scan. Thanks though.

If someone did make a mod like that, Blizzard would have it banned in use anyway.
Probably better that way. After a few weeks, everyone would have that mod, and when the message "TIME-LOST PROTODRAKE HAS SPAWNED" appears on your screen, you'd arrive there with 100 other players that got the same message and a newly blacklisted player for getting there first.

Well maybe if there was an add-on that checked for the drops and when someone managed to kill the named and get the drop, then it would register and let you know and stamp the date and time for anyone later on that wants to know when and where it was killed.

There is a script to check if a specific item has been looted. Like with Aeonaxx (check the Wowhead page for the script).
The problem is, on my server someone must have found and killed him, but hasn't learned the mount. So when they log in the server caches it right away after every reset. So the script is useless. He probably doesn't have epic flying. Fail.

That is not how NPCscan works. sorry. If someone did as you suggest, it would not effect the Next spawn of the drake in any way. Nor would it cause NPCscan to not work.
NPC scan watches YOUR pc's cache, when your PC "sees" (ie: your close enough to the drake for your PC to be told that the drake is nearby) the Scan will alert you. It has nothing to do with if someone else "has it" .... no one else at all matters in this system.
This is why, if you come acrross the dead body, it will alert you too. Once this happens you have to DELETE your creature cache file, so that it will not be there untill the next time you "see it" (see the npc scan documention for how to do this).
He's talking about linking the item the rare drops, not the actual rare itself.
