I don't have any subnets smaller than /24, but here's what I'd do to
test it. Assuming that 10.1.1.1 is in your address range,
dig +noall +authority -x 10.1.1.1 SOA
If you're on a host allowed to do DNS transfers, you can try grabbing
the entire subnet:
dig $(dig +noall +authority -x 10.1.1.1 SOA | awk '{print $1}') AXFR
