No backslashes. Am I doing something wrong.
I, too seem to recall backslashes from dig in the past, but I can't
provoke them today.
On a Scientific Linux (Red Hat) 6 machine I *do* see the back-slash:
# dig -v
DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.47.rc1.el6_8.3

This is on a Scientific Linux (Red Hat) 6 machine;
I also get the "\;" on a machine using a completely different
nameserver, running
Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS, Trusty Tahr
with
# dig -v
DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.10-Ubuntu
...
Are we using different nameservers or is it just that
I have old versions of dig ... ?
