Only if they chose to believe you have a good enough reason for wanting
them. I wanted them for what I thought was a totally legit purpose...we
were preparing to renumber, and as part of the task of renumbering, I
wanted to compile a list of all domains for which we're supposed to be
authorative. I was told "that's not good enough...send us the DNS server
info, we'll run the search and let you know how it turns out." I did so,
and never heard back.
The renumbering is now done...and I never did get to compile a list of all
the domains we're lame for.
