  Doesn't nmap do much of this these days? Just use your own
nmap-service-probes file, and write your own probe packets.
(Use the --datadir option.)

  If you don't like that, and  there is no ready-made code,
I think the best idea is to take a sound UDP-scanner such as
nbtscan, rip out everything that is netbios oriented, and replace
it with DNS-code, SNMP-code, or even code that can be selected
from the command-line. If I recall, creating a dnsscan out of
nbtscan was one or two hours work.

  Of course, you need to know the protocols. DNS is simple: just send
a status request, and you'll get a response that says 'not implemented'.
SNMP is less easy: you won't get a response unless the server does something
else than what the protocol specification says. Some do, but far from all.
And so on.
