I answered my own question.  I thought it best to share it with the 
group.  Querying a Global Catalog for list of domain names is easy if 
each domain is a child domain.  Get the default context and walk the 
tree...  The problem I had is that can exist peer domains.  These are 
not viewable through the structure or rootdse record.  The solution is a 
fairly simple query:

base=""
objectclass=trusteddomain
attrib=cn

Each object will be a domain name inside the forest.  From the cn 
attribute it's possible to guess the context of each domain 
(test.root.com = dc=test,dc=root,dc=com).

I hope this helps someone!
