Since the name servers that are likely used by names in the non-published
zone file
are most likely also used by, for example, names that are in the .com zone,
you can get the list from the .com zone.

If pounding is limited (which BTW I think is necessary, but the trade
off is hobbling the service) 
then it makes the utility of 3.2.5 much less.
Plus, what does "pounding" mean?  You can only get the first 50 records?
That would be lame.  Then it must be only 50 at a time.
In that case just hit it a number of times.
What is the point of having it in that case?
Especially when you could do the same thing not using crisp with registries
that
do publish their zone.

Where do you obtain that list?  From the non-published zone file?

Plus, pounding on the system is limited by the operators policy for 3.1.1.
