Could someone show me a way to query the dns server for CNAME records for a
particular A record. Zone transfers are not allowed in this particular
situation. What I want is to be able to get a listing all alias's for a
particular host...

TIA
 
No way to do this using std queries as A records have no back reference to
who is pointing to them. You would have to have the zone (or zones) records
and search on what cnames point to that A record ownerName.
