But if you don't know the list of zones, how can you set up your computer
to be slave?  Isn't that what you're trying to find out?

Anyway, you don't really need to set up a DNS server to do this, just run
"dig <zone-name> axfr @<isp-server>" and look at the output.  This is
essentially what a slave server does.

I think you should keep pushing at the ISP, and ask them to do a "grep"
through the DB files looking for your IP address.
