I am looking for a way that you, or anyone else, could indicate a domain

it doesn't require a human to interpret the results.



You might be able to use lack of an SOA record as a hint.  In my
experience, parked domains often do not have SOA records because
the parking companies are lazy.  It is a lot easier to put all the
parked domains in a parent zone file, or even use a wildcard, rather
than have a zone file for each parked name.

From DNS nutshell or from the "DNS and BIND" book the programme

> check_soa peter-dambier.de

ns1.peter-dambier.de has serial number 2005050401
ns2.peter-dambier.de has serial number 2005050401

Can do.

In the IASON tools there is a hacked version

> chk1soa ns1.peter-dambier.de peter-dambier.de

soa("peter-dambier.de","2005050401","ns1.peter-dambier.de","195.20.224.105").


> chk1soa m.root-servers.net peter-dambier.de

error("peter-dambier.de","m.root-servers.net","202.12.27.33","no soa").


IASON compiles on most flavours of unix including Mac OS-X and linux.
