Sorry if i gave the impression i was withholding info based on suspicions of nefarious purposes. I've seen enough of wes' posts on here to know better, but was honestly baffled about what legitimate purpose could be served by knowing more about a dns update than "72 hrs for delegation changes, 15 min for zone updates".
Being in customer service, i should have guessed that an unreasonable client was behind it all.

Well, I think that unless we have evidence to the contrary we should consider everyone interested in Linux technology for honorable goals. Any technique can be used for good or ill, starting with flint knives and proceeding all the way up to quantum physics. CERN runs on Linux. wes - I believe the command 'dig' might let you find out when any DNS server has been updated. Run it as a cron job every five minute or so and pipe its output to /var/log/messages, or something. I'd use that.
