Description-en: remotely determine DNS server version
A nameserver basically responds to a query. Interoperability is an
obvious requirement here. The standard protocol behaviour of different
DNS implementations is expected to be the same.
.
The reality is quite different though. fpdns uses a series of borderline
DNS queries to determine the vendor, product and version of a nameserver.
