Hi Henrik
Our DNS servers exist in Wintendo land. so I guess that's remote.
I could set up a local DNS, but, because of the nature of this contract, and
the way the support company works, I don't think I should.
(We are setting up everything, and a remote services mob are going to be
administering it all. Transition to remote services is supposed to happen in
the next 2 months)
It works with --no-ares, so I am not going to pursue it any further - unless
I can assist in some way with debugging info.
If there is benefit to be gained for the dev team, let me know you would
like me to do.
Cheers
Vernon

It seems to resolve using nslookup on CLI, but not in bbtest.net
Eventually added the --no-ares option, and all is good in our again.
Are you using a local DNS resolver, or a remote one ? Xymon tends to
hit DNS servers pretty hard when starting all the network tests, so
I strongly recommend using a local DNS cache.
It could be a bug in the C-ARES library, of course.
