Why bother reinventing the wheel, get the BIND distribution and build
the nslookup utility, it's 'ls' feature does what you want. Also, if
you really MUST write something studying the resolver code and the 
nslookup's use of it should answer all your questions.

You can find the distribution on any good archive site, like uunet.uu.net
or ucbarpa.Berkeley.Edu.
