The dns test performs a lookup against the DNS server. By default, it
queries the server's own hostname A record, but the record name and
type in the request can be adjusted. I use this to test/time several
DNS servers, some of which don't run any Xymon agents. More details
in "man hosts.cfg".

Hi,
When specifying dns tests in the hosts.cfg file, does xymon perform a
dns/dig lookup to the server IP address, or is it a lookup using the
resolver of the server hosting xymon?
I want to construct some tests to ensure that DNS is active/resolving
for a secondary/slave DNS servers without requiring the server to run
the agent.
Thanks.
