I know to look for 'version.bind', 'id.server', 'version.server' and a few others, but I hadn't considered asking for 'whoareyou.arbitary.domain'. Why would other people consider it?
Incidentally, there is a similar mechanism available for the F root nameserver, in case people are not aware: dig @f.root-servers.net hostname.bind chaos txt For most people this will reveal a nameserver hostname with a "PAO" or an SFO in it. People within the catchment of a local anycast node of F will see different site codes. "hostname.bind CH TXT" is a general feature of BIND 9, and not a special feature of F. Joe
