Thanks, that's helpful.

Note that the command-line version accepts the "@server" option,
which is useful if you have to deal with a mess of primaries, 
secondaries, forwarders, et cetera:

   dig @NS1 +short porttest.dns-oarc.net TXT
   dig @NS2 +short porttest.dns-oarc.net TXT
   dig @NS3 +short porttest.dns-oarc.net TXT

how to check if your ISP's DNS servers are safe

2008-07-22 Thread Perry E. Metzger

Niels Provos has a web page up with some javascript that automatically
checks if your DNS caching server has been properly patched or not.

It is worth telling people to try.
