I have defined some hosts with fake host names: 0.0.0.0 foo.bar.foo # noconn They are defined so that clients may send messages to the Xymon server and have their status displayed.
What I don't understand is why my Xymon server insists on performing name queries for foo.bar.foo. Even adding "testip" to the line doesn't eliminate all of the queries. The only way I can make them stop is by making bogus entries in my server's hosts file, of the form: 127.0.0.2 foo.bar.foo
There are no xymonnet tests defined for this host. The server is not running xymond_alert or xymongen.
What component is querying DNS, and why?

testip and noconn
