[Gllug] DNS - identifying primary nameserver

[Paul Brazier]

Slightly OT but is there a way of telling which DNS server is the
primary/master for a zone and which ones are the secondary/slaves?
(assuming I don't have access to the /etc/named.conf)

If I do:

dig +norec foo.com @a.gltd-servers.net

for some domain "foo.com"
I get several entries in the "AUTHORITY SECTION".
Is the first one always the primary nameserver?
