dig vccaps.com ns @a.gtld-servers.net
will list the nameservers that your domain has been delegated to:
vccaps.com. 2D IN NS OPAL.NBNET.NB.CA.
vccaps.com. 2D IN NS DNS1.vccaps.com.
;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
DNS1.vccaps.com. 2D IN A 142.176.162.195
So if your machine is dns1.vccaps.com (and its address is 142.176.162.195)
or opal.nbnet.nb.ca, then you have been granted authority for the domain.
