[SunHELP] BIND version.

[Rob Staab]

Or alternately you can force nslookup to cough up the version of Bind.

bash-2.04$ nslookup
Default Server:  nameserver.domainname.com
Address:  <ip address>

> set querytype=TXT
> set class=chaos
> version.bind
Server:  nameserver.domainname.com
Address:  <ip address>

VERSION.BIND    text = "8.2.3-REL"  <---------This is the version of bind on
the server queried.
