	No, even those tool don't tell you -- they just tell you who is 
registered as authoritative.  Since you can have a "hidden" master 
that is not advertised anywhere, the *only* way to tell for sure is 
to be able to get access to the configuration files on those servers, 
so that you can see what machines are configured to be secondary and 
where they are pulling their copy of the information.
