Try "dig chaos txt version.bind"
Yeah, I saw that thread (I subscribed to dnsmasq-discuss last week). I
think that's overkill for what we're doing. running "dig" from libvirt
just increases the number of external binaries we're dependent on, but
you still need to parse the text output. Is there any reason for
preferring this over simply running "dnsmasq --help"? (other than maybe
hoping that the output would be less likely to change format over time).
I actually think that it's more important to reduce the count of
external binary dependencies...
