Hello,

Using Xymon 4.3.7 does anyone know if it is possible to replace a
xymonnet test with a local test of the same name? I want to replace the
'dns' test with one run as a script on clients.

Obviously I can disable the current 'dns' test, but I am a bit loathe to
name a DNS test anything other than 'dns' :-)
Not really possible, AFAIK. Sounds like something that would somehow bite
someone in the future, regardless :)

Your best bet is probably just to give your test a different name
completely (eg, nslookup, bind, resolv, etc...). Just not 'dig', which is
internally an an alias to 'dns'.
