That's all you need. I added "dns=a:www.google.com" after my name
server's # test part and it works OK, no other change needed.

I have read the man page inside and out. I have setup the dns test on
our dns server with the directive dns=a:www.google.com
This should resolve the A record for www.google.com
I am only getting the DNS test is OK and not the nslookup. Is there
something else im missing. All i should have to do is specify the
dns=a: right?
