Hmm. "noconn" + "testip" should actually be all that's needed here,
assuming there are no other references to those (in URLs, for example).
I've used a lot of pseudo-DNS entries in configs before for the same
effect.
Can you run a copy of xymonnet in --debug mode and see if you see the
lookup there? If nothing, then an strace should reveal around when we're
doing it.
Have you noticed any patterns in *which* hosts you're seeing the lookup
for that you're not expecting it at? Or is it all of them?

and noconn
As stated in my original message, 'noconn' is already specified for the
host. Adding 'testip' reduces the number of queries but does not
eliminate them.
I forgot to mention: xymon version 4.3.17 running on CentOS
