Works (goes red if DNS is down) for me on Xymon 4.3.10.  Perhaps the "dns"
test is broken in your version.

Hi there,

i have a problem with checking dns on my nameservers. Maybe i didnt get it
right
I have some nameservers running and would like to check there availability
via xymon, so i added a line like

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  ns1.my.domnain # dns=a:www.my.domain

to the bb-hosts file. I thought this should work. But while adding a new
server, which actualy does not have any dns server running, not even
installed, the check turned green. So to me it seems that it does not check
the host.

Any idea?

Kind regards

Jörg
