So ask for the NS records once you have the zone name.
This really is not a major issue.
You complained about res_query() before not giving you what
you want. res_query() is only a wrapper around res_mkquery()
and res_send() that also detects a NODATA response. The
functions are there. You just need to choose the right
ones to do the job you want done.
