Hi Henrik
Our DNS servers exist in Wintendo land. so I guess that's remote. I could set up a local DNS, but, because of the nature of this contract, and the way the support company works, I don't think I should. (We are setting up everything, and a remote services mob are going to be administering it all. Transition to remote services is supposed to happen in the next 2 months) It works with --no-ares, so I am not going to pursue it any further - unless I can assist in some way with debugging info. If there is benefit to be gained for the dev team, let me know you would like me to do.
Vernon,
You're the best judge of what's appropriate vis-a-vis your contract and support channels, but if there's any cordiality there, you might touch base with them on setting up a caching-only named on your Xymon server. You'd be greatly decreasing somewhat gratuitous hits on their servers, and they might welcome it. You probably know that it's a very simple setup.
