<P>Thank you all for your input. Our DNS environment consists of both Windows
Server 2003 DNS as well as BIND. Both dns tests give the same result. DNS OK but
no query below.<BR><BR>I will have to experiment with a different build of xymon
because i have a suspision that there is something wrong with the
bbtest-net.<BR><BR>I will post results shortly.</P><pre>
