That's what you are testing...  What an individual server is responding.

So, I might have:
0.0.0.0         ns1.example.com        # noconn
dig=SOA:example.com,SOA:example.net,SOA:example.org,SOA:example.us,TXT:example.com ssh
0.0.0.0         ns2.example.com        # noconn
dig=SOA:example.com,SOA:example.net,SOA:example.org,SOA:example.us,TXT:example.com                         ssh

So, here I am testing whether ns1.example.com can return the soa record
for all of these various domains, and the same for ns2...
