Hello folks,


I have started monitoring DNS tests on a server and It has never  
worked correctly (always red status):

- Ubuntu 8
- bind 9.x running in a jail environement.


I haven't been able to find the DNS test correctly explained… any  
advise will be welcome.
I generally test for soa records on authoritative zones:
0.0.0.0         ns2.example.com   #noconn ssh ntp dig=soa:example.com,soa:example.net,soa:example.org

If those come back with a valid record, then I know that DNS is running.
