Just as Craig suggested, first check the server itself. Can it resolve
DNS?, do you have the correct DNS addresses in your IP configuration?
Can you do a dig/dnslookup using the servers in your configuration?

Also, I tried opening the link but I was not able to see the picture,
but then, it might be my content filtering

Subject: [hobbit] DNS Test - No Record Lookup

 
Hi,

I have configured one of my DNS servers to run the dns test native to
xymon. I have the directive "dns" specified in the bb-hosts file and the
test shows up as a column however the test does NOT perform a lookup of
the servers dns A record as it should. All i get is the "Service DNS on
SERVER.DOMAIN.COM is OK (up) and then a graph immediately below.

I have also tired using the dns=a:server.domain.com with no luck either.

I have posted a screen shot on PhotoBucket -

Does anybody have any insight as to why the dns lookups are not being
ran?
