[Xymon] DNS test - test of server or resolution?

Hello,

I have just started to look at Xymon (4.3.7), and currently have the server monitoring itself.

I'm a bit confused with the DNS test. What is it trying to test:

1. that the local host has a running name server (e.g. bind, unbind etc)?
2. that the local server can perform DNS resolution using any name server?
3. that the local host has a running name server and that it can perform resolution using it?

As far as I can tell the answer is '3'. I have no name server on the local host (hence getting a red icon), but do have DNS resolution. Is there a way to configure the DNS test to just check on resolution, and leave the 'procs' test to check if 'named' is running or not?

Thanks,

John.
