SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       fpdns is a program that remotely determines DNS server versions.  It
15       does this by sending a series of borderline DNS queries which are
16       compared against a table of responses and server versions.
17
18       False positives or incorrect versions may be reported when trying to
19       identify a set of servers residing behind a load-balancing apparatus
20       where the servers are of different implementations, when a specific
21       implementation behaves like a forwarder, behind a firewall without
22       statefull inspection or without Application Intelligence.
