Does that work for you?

In good traditions of opensource and freedom of choice, here's anther option: host -t NS stackoverflow.com which would output following:

stackoverflow.com name server ns-cloud-e1.googledomains.com.
stackoverflow.com name server ns-358.awsdns-44.com.
stackoverflow.com name server ns-1033.awsdns-01.org.
stackoverflow.com name server ns-cloud-e2.googledomains.com.

because you've specified the type. Or use flag -a instead to see all records. Alternatively you may use nslookup -type=any stackoverflow.com. But unfortunately none of these options would give you the zone file. BUT if you'd search on another stackexchange forum you would find the answer here: https://superuser.com/questions/24389/is-there-a-way-to-get-the-complete-zone-file-for-a-domain-without-contacting-its
