For a name registry or registrar, I'd be thrilled to get a list of
name servers they know about that resolve to that IP.  A common bad
guy trick is to register a bunch of names, stick them all on the same
servers, but use a different subdomain name for each one, e.g. foo.biz
has name server ns1.foo.biz and bar.biz has ns1.bar.biz , but they're
really the same IP.
