This will work:
dig @nameserver.tld chaos txt version.bind
For BIND nameservers, but it is not a standard convention so it is not
supported by all nameservers, and most administrators disable the
output from the command at this point:
datacenterwire.com /home/allan#dig @ns1.vbind.com chaos txt version.bind
; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> @ns1.vbind.com chaos txt version.bind
