i doubt that such a thing is possible, i would think of an information 
leak otherwise.
for the dns`s servers (all bind on linux) i always even prohibit axfr's 
for domains to unathorized hosts (i.e. i just allow my secondary 
nameservers to do that).

what *good* use anyone could have for such a thing?
if you have any reason to know these you could arrange an interchange of 
the nameservers config file via scp for example.
