RE: [hobbit] DNS Test - No Record Lookup

The xymon server can correctly resolve dns and i have included the dig
command in a recent reply. For some reason, it just doesnt include it in
the dns test....

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

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?
