I have recently installed xymon 4.2.3 on a solaris 10 platform. I also
have BB running on another solaris 10 server. The BB server has been
running for years.
My issue: I am monitoring seven DNS servers. BB reports all seven as
DNS OK. However xymon reports five servers as 'not ok'. I am unable to
determine why the DNS test fails on these servers.
I have tested by changing hobbitlaunch.cfg to use:
CMD bbtest-net --no-ares --debug --report --ping --checkresponse
I did not see any useful information from the log:

By default, the DNS test tries to resolve the host's own hostname, e.g. if
this server is server.mydomain.com, you should test with:
$ dig @server.mydomain.com server.mydomain.com
You can have it test any other DNS record for any domain, please see 'man bb-
hosts' for more information.
