Hello,

Is there a way to list 'all visible interfaces' for the nameservers of a given host and finding the addresses for each of those?

I know nslookup can be used for this, how can I tell if a nameserver has multiple visible interfaces?

Not that I know of, unless, of course, you have SSH access to the nameserver.

I suppose you could always nmap the IP range you think the nameserver belongs to (/24 would be a good starting point), using -O for OS fingerprinting.

It's possible that any hosts that report to be running the same OS are different interfaces on the same box. Or they could be two different hosts.

I think this is about the best advice that could be given. I don't think you're going to be able to find out exactly what you're asking; only make an educated guess as to which IP addresses might be on the same system.
