I use "testip" on pretty much all my hosts, and have explicit tests for
important DNS names.  I don't think it's helpful for a service to be
reported as unavailable, or not even tested, because a DNS lookup fails.
 (You can also run xymonnet with "--dns=ip" to get the same effect for
network tests.)

However the "testip" and "--dns=ip" settings don't apply to web tests.
 Instead, you use a special syntax in hosts.cfg, for example:

  10.1.2.3 # webserver1.example.com http://web1.example.com=
10.1.2.3/cgi-bin/testthis
