You can find the first 256 domains registered to your DNS by using the
command:
whois "server <server-handle>" where server-handle is the handle
assigned to your DNS host by InterNIC.

In the latest domain-dispute policy to go into effect on the 25th,
the document states in part:
8.The requirement for operational service from two DNS servers has been
deleted.

Except for the fact that BEFORE-USE still hasn't been implemented :(
In fact, I've often received the "Please ACK/NAK this request" letter
*AFTER* receiving a message saying "Registration for the domain name shown
below has been completed." NAK's rarely work in these cases unless I make
a phone call to stop it.
