=head1 NAME
check_soa - Check a domain's nameservers
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<check_soa> I<domain>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<check_soa> queries each of a domain's nameservers for the Start
of Authority (SOA) record and prints the serial number. Errors
are printed for nameservers that couldn't be reached or didn't
answer authoritatively.
=head1 AUTHOR
The original Bourne Shell and C versions were printed in
I<DNS and BIND> by Paul Albitz & Cricket Liu.
This Perl version was written by Michael Fuhr <mike@fuhr.org>.
