This is one good use of the zone files. They contain name server
information for all active .com, .net, and .org domains. You can request

> I'm still confused on the admin/reporting side - if I keep them in one
profile, okay I can understand that for finding what domains *I'm* supposed
to be responsible for - but how about finding what domains my nameservers
are supposed to be responsible for? Typical example - when I request a
report from NSI, I usually do it for both my NIC handle and my Nameserver -
just in case someone's listed my nameserver on a domain without my
knowledge. Does the NSI report ONLY show domains registered through NSI for
my nameserver, or ANY com, net or org (i.e. registered through another
registrar). I assumed, perhaps foolishly, that since it was the root server
they were running the query against it would show all domains listed for my
nameserver regardless of who they're registered through.
