[Xymon] Replace test with script?

[Scot Kreienkamp]

I think you can call it DNS.  The column titles are case sensitive.  Or just call it clientdns or some such thing.

Not really possible, AFAIK. Sounds like something that would somehow bite
someone in the future, regardless :)

Your best bet is probably just to give your test a different name
completely (eg, nslookup, bind, resolv, etc...). Just not 'dig', which is
internally an an alias to 'dns'.
