Alternatively, you could query the name server for its bind version:


dig txt chaos version.bind @<ip_address_of_nameserver>


It is important to note that if this query works, you should probably
change what bind reports via this query with the "version" option in
named.conf.  As a general rule, you don't want to leak this type of
information to the general public.
