Here is what is stored in the DNS for 7:240 .ARTS.
Note that you have to look-up s240.g7 it is reversed.
With this approach, we can scan the 2,048 combinations
and figure out what TLD aliases are on each "seat".
For example, in G6 we would look to your servers for
S0.G6, S1.G6, S2.G6, ... S255.G6 to build the table
of info for the TLDs.

The TXT record has the TLD alias.
The RP - Responsible Person record is used to point
to a person's e-mail and web site.
The other NS info provides typical nameserver delegation
info for the TLD Name Servers.

Adam Todd has been working on these sorts of delegations
for the G6 region. He could delegate some to your name
servers by delegating entries like S130.G6 for .NZ
