This is sorta unrelated but i've used this as times.   If you want to query
NSI to see all domains hosted a name server, you can do the following:

look up a domain name you know uses that particular ns server.
click on the actual server in the record, to get it's NIC handle.

Then, in the WHOIS box, type 'server NIC-HANDLE' and it'll show you the
domains it's listed as a ns for......however, it'll prolly only spit out the
first 50 or so...HTH
