I'm not to sure what exactly your looking for.

But if you use nslookup and set query to ns
you should get the DNS servers responsible for the domain name.
the you could use traceroute to see the responses

nslookup
>set q=ns
>www.somewhere.com

Subject: [ILUG] Tracing a DNS Query

 Hi All,
 Does anyone know of a tool whick makes it possible to
 trace the route a DNS query takes.
 
 Say : I point my browser at www.somewhere.com I would
 like to see the name servers that are contacted and
 exact responses by each name server along the route
   to
 the destination.
 
 Cheers
 
 Mark
