Using Xymon 4.3.7 does anyone know if it is possible to replace a

You can, as long as you don't have "dns" test defined in the hosts.cfg. Without that definition, you won't have Xymon reporting any data into a "dns" status for that host; but there is nothing barring another script from reporting data and calling it "dns".
You might have a broken graph, unless your script puts a "Seconds: 1.234" line at the bottom of the status message, since the Xymon graph module will expect "dns" data to be in the normal network-test format. If that bothers you, then remove "dns" from the TEST2RRD and GRAPHS settings in xymonserver.cfg and restart Xymon.
