Hi Mike
As Richard suggests, I suspect the config you proposed is going to cause
Xymon, and yourself a world of hurt.
Remember, Xymon uses the hostname as the index (for lack of a better word)
Now you have the same host with 2 IP addresses.
Xymon will perform 2 pings, using lookup to resolve IP. bbtest-net is going
to bleat.
I suspect, the IP address from the lookup is the one that will be used as
the DNS server IP.
So both DNS lookups will be to the same IP address.
I would suggest a simple script to do what you need.
Regards
Vernon

An entry in the bb-host file like:
192.168.10.10 bambam # dns=fred
will perform a DNS query against the server bambam for the hostname: fred.
The way I understand it is if a response is received, the DNS is considered
good.
I would like to know if here are any options to verify the result. In my
particular case, we want to query against a “Split DNS” server and confirm
the correct IP is being returned in the A record. So,
192.168.10.10 bambam.dom.com # dns=
fred.dom.com
71.137.200.10 bambam.dom.com # dns=
fred.dom.com
The first entry should return: 192.168.10.15
The second entry should return: 71.137.200.15
If DNS views are broken, the 2nd entry may return: 192.168.10.15 If so,
I want to get a page so DNS can be fixed.
Thanks,
Mike
