I don't think the mini-palantir theory is very feasible... if they lost them, the Nazgul would be guidanceless and not much of a threat. Also, the elves made the palantirs, and I can't imagine Sauron making anything that the elves did. He might be able to manage a mockery, but then, as I said, the Nazgul wouldn't have been as much of a threat. Remember they could sense the presence of the One Ring. If all their information came from sauron, that means that Sauron was able to sense the presence of the One Ring, and if that were so Frodo and Sam would never have made it to Mount Doom.
I think that they were bound to Sauron's will to do a certain task, but had limited free will within that task.

Oh and Gurthang, the meaning of life is 42. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
