Easy way to determine BIND version remotely?

[Jangalwa, Raj]

YOu can do

nslookup > set class=chaos
nslookup > set type=txt
nslookup > version.bind

This will give you the bind vesion.

Hope it helps

Subject: Easy way to determine BIND version remotely?



Is there a straightforward way to see either or both of
the BIND version, or other DNS software version that a 
particular DNS server is running, if I don't have root 
access to the machine?

Someone mentioned using nslookup for such a query but I
can't see anything that gives that kind of information.

TIA,


Phil
