Sure. Use nslookup in interactive mode. First, do a 'set q=soa', and
then query for 'seitz.com'. The IP address of the secondary
(204.176.14.4) shpould be listed as one of the authoritative
nameservers.
Next, issue a 'server 204.176.14.4', which will make that server the
server to be queried. Then do an 'ls -t a seitz.com', which will list
every entry for seitz.com that the server knows about. If you try that
command on a server that's not authoritative for the domain, it'll chuck
a fit. You *should* end up with a listing that corresponds to all the
hosts in your domain. If you don't, the data isn't being transferred
for some reason ... probably a bad serial number.
