If your customer has control of his DNS server and it's running bind,
then the delegation-only patch can be applied and then he can list all
the gTLDs /etc/named.conf. There may be patches for other DNS servers
as well.
I applied the patch at www.isc.org and am now happily seeing the
normal, non-Verisign corrupted dns behavior. (The version in rawhide is
actually a bit outdated. It's 9.2.2-P1 and ISC recommends 9.2.2-P3.)
At least until they circumvent it some other way. *sigh*
