    This is exactly the information that I am looking for
    however, doing a zone transfer would certainly show up
    as a snort/IDS alert. Someone off list suggested
    scanning the subnet and doing a DNS reverse lookup.
    This too I would this cause a snort/IDS alert. I'm
    looking for something a little less intrusive. In the
    same email, this person suggested that I could write a
    perl script to use nslookup to query common names like
    the ones I listed. This is exactly what I am looking
    for, however perl and I don't get along very well. I
    could probably do this, it would just take some time.
    Then I would have to come up with my own list of
    common host names, which is another reason I was
    hopping someone had already been down this road.

    Thanks for the responses...

    David

    Something like an AXFR transfer on a DNS zone ?
