Just use DNSSEC, the RRSIG records tell you the apex of the zone :-)

Just query for the SOA at the full RDNS name, and the name server will

We have been here before.
The ENUM name space has comparable properties to ip6.arpa: lots of labels,
"irregular" delegation points and sparse population. Some ENUM applications and
use cases had a need to find the closest encloser too. So a long time ago, I helped write
up something similar for the ENUM WG --
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-enum-void-02 -- and was told I was a naughty boy.
It was apparently a Very Bad Thing to treat data from the Authority Section as an answer
from the DNS: resolving servers could do this, but nothing else apparently. I suspect
Mark's draft may have been killed because of that too.
FWIW there were other religious issues which meant that ENUM draft ended up
going nowhere.
