Xymon Server DNS 🔗 link

Hi All,

I imagine this is quite a simple one, and I'm overlooking something...but
here goes...

I have Xymon 4.2.3 installed on Ubuntu; upgraded from Hobbit and it's been
in production for almost a year now (including the time spent as hobbit).
As our monitored network has grown, obviously the amount of lookups has
increased with it.  To try and speed up the tests I setup the Xymon server
as a DNS server (slave for our domain, and forwarder onto the ISP DNS
servers).  Locally it works fine i.e. nslookup queries itself, and I can dig
the DC and domain (again queried locally); from a remote machine I can also
query the DNS on the Xymon server.  However, Xymon reports the DNS service
as down.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Phil

the DNS test checks that the forward and reverse name are both
accessible, so try being a secondary for your reverse zones as well.
