    I do not agree, I think it would be very useful to the European
    networking community to interact with RIPE-NCC only instead of
    having to interact with both RIPE-NCC and the US NIC  
Interaction is fine. But RIPE stepping into someone
else's authority is quite something different!

    I don't see the point in what Piet says:
    .....
    If you "have only, say, 2 internal and the 2 external servers
    listed for foo.XX in the XX zone file" how could the RIPE-NCC script
    discover the other 8 internal servers? Looking in glass ball?
Reread the original message: it explicitly contained
a sentence:
   Then a list of all reverse servers found in the DNS:
which implies that DNS is queried to find all (in this
case reverse) nameservers. How that's done is irrelevant.
