Re: searching any possible pre and postfixes for a given domain

[Robert Hajime Lanning <robert.lanning () gmail com>]

There really is not a tool for this.  The reason for this, is the way
DNS was designed.
There is no way to query for partial addresses, so you must make a
complete address
and query for it to see if it returns valid data.

The other way, is to get a copy of the "com." zone file (I believe it
is a few gig.) and
grep through it.
