There are various fingerprinting methods you can use, with widely varying
degrees of accuracy, but the most polite way is to use the SOA:

$ dig @ns1.example.com example.com soa +short
ns1.example.com. hostmaster.example.com. [...]

The second field is actually an email address, you can try to start there.
Here we would mail hostmaster at example.com and hopefully get a response.

Failing that, maybe more explanation of what you are trying to accomplish
would help us help you?
