Now as you would be knowing if I do regular dig with ns, it provides NS
records. However I was able to find nameservers by digging gTLD root for
gTLD based domains. This works for .com/net/org etc but again fails for say
.us, .in etc. I was wondering if there's an easy way to do it rather then
running script on thousands of domain names again & again digging registry
specific nameservers?

I religiously use http://squish.net/dnscheck/ the moment I suspect *any*
sort of DNS hinkiness.  Verbose, but *damn* if it doesn't hand me the answer
practically every time.
