@paelzer, it is making an usual call to host and checking the return:
LC_ALL=C host -t soa local. 2>&1
and theoretically this maps to:
LC_ALL=C dig -t soa local. 2>&1

Practically, I don't think this works. I do not have a "local." start of authority record and when I run these commands I get a 1 return value from host and a 0 return value from dig. It might be possible that you can parse the output of dig to get the same information, but I don't know what dig outputs when "local." shows up with an SOA record. If I recall correctly, this should only happen on _very_ broken networks. The avahi folks might know more about how to proceed.
