Well i'd say you choose a dns library of your choice and code away.
Popular examples for those are:
perl net-dns - http://www.net-dns.org/
python dnspython - http://www.dnspython.org/
python twisted names - http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedNames

I'll attach a dnspython script of mine that is totally unfinished but 
does at least access the authority section returned by a query.
