Why do you care? If they are set up correctly, they should all answer
the same way to the same query (perhaps spared internal RFC 1918
addresses, but that's an altogether different story in the first
place).

The best way to figure out which name server answers I guess would be
fooling around with dig's +trace option... but I'm no guru there.
