Ok I finally got round to testing it.
To stop DNS lookup on a made up client name you need...
0.0.0.0 soapro # testip noconn
Sweet!!
Thanks all!!

Hmm... Maybe. Will have to try it :)
It would have to be something like this then
0.0.0.0 soapro # testip noconn
Seems a bit counter intuitive... lol

What if you add "testip"?

Hi all,
I have databases and webpages in my hosts.cfg like this..
0.0.0.0 Oracle_Enterprise_Manager # prefer noping noconn https://ictoem01.stanwell.com:7801/em/console # Obviously a web page
0.0.0.0 soapro # prefer noconn # This is an oracle database which I have tests sent to.
What I find is that even with noconn, it still attempts to resolve the server name ie Oracle_Enterprise_Manager
I have managed to fix this by modifying xymonnet.c on line 839
From this...
if (!h->testip && (dnsmethod != IP_ONLY)) add_host_to_dns_queue(h->hostname);
to this
if (!h->testip && !h->noconn && (dnsmethod != IP_ONLY)) add_host_to_dns_queue(h->hostname);
Any comments or possible breaking of Xymon??
If my interpretaion is what is expected for the noconn test maybe Henrik could put this in as a bug fix :)
