on a couple of guitars i had got some post-nut resonance issue... palm muting on open strings sounded like someone was beating a bell with an iron mace...
my solution was very very simple... i put a small piece of foamy rubber (those things used under chair legs...) in the last two notches and vibrations were gone.
as long as some tone on open strings, of course...
does anyone know a better method (that doesn't necessairly involve changing the nut...)?

Fatter strings :D

Hair band behind the nut.
Replace the strings and run them through it and the ringing should be muffled sufficiently.
A more elegant solution might be to loosely fit one of the bars that go behind a Floyd Rose locking nut in order to disrupt the sympathetic fundamental tone behind the nut.

Or if it's only one or two strings, a string tree could do it.
Are you putting enough winds on the tuning post for a good downard angle over the nut?
