I have a DNS test that is returning a NOT ok message, however a dig/nslookup
against it is working just fine. I ran a bbcmd test and all I see for debug
output is:

2006-08-15 22:52:54 Adding to combo msg: status dns01,[snip].dns red <!--
[flags:ordastLe] --> Tue Aug 15 22:51:36 2006 dns NOT ok

 
Is there more info I can get to tell me exactly why this test is failing?

The "dig" command equivalent of the standard dns test in Hobbit is

    dig @your.server.name your.server.name A

i.e. an A record lookup for the DNS servers' own hostname.

So - does that work?
