| How about:-
|
| $whois yourisp.net
|
| or
|
| $dig yourisp.net any

That'll show you the DNS servers that are authoritive for that specific
domain name. These are not nessaceraly the DNS servers that you as a
customer can use for recursive queries.

i.e. Demon have diff servers for customers as opposed to management of
their domains.
