A couple of my xymonnet tests are reporting "DNS error".
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
