Bind offers you the ability to change the version, name, and hostname as follow:



options 
 server-id none;
 hostname none;
 version "Domain Name Server";
;


What I'm wondering is: how can I check that information from my Linux command line?

          I think you're looking for dig. Specify id.server, hostname.bind, version.bind as the domain name, TXT as rrtype, and CHAOS (or CH) as the class. For example, to query Level3's DNS:



          $ dig @4.2.2.2 hostname.bind chaos txt

          ; <<>> DiG 9.13.2 <<>> @4.2.2.2 hostname.bind chaos txt
          ; (1 server found)
          ;; global options: +cmd
          ;; Got answer:
          ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 49354
          ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1

          ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION:
          ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 8192
          ;; QUESTION SECTION:

          ;; ANSWER SECTION:
          hostname.bind. 1 CH TXT "pubntp2.frf1.Level3.net"

          • Great, that worked with version.bind and hostname.bind, but the server-id.bind doesn't return anything...

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't."
