[Xymon] DNS lookup occurs even with noconn

Hmm... Maybe. Will have to try it :)

It would have to be something like this then

0.0.0.0 soapro # testip noconn

Seems a bit counter intuitive... lol

Don't forget that xymon does more than just ping test (which is all 'noconn' modifies). There are a lot of scenarios where ICMP traffic is blocked but you'll still be able to hit --thus, test-- port 80 or some other service.

For those hosts, xymon still needs to be able to look up the IP address if all it has is a name, so if you want to prevent lookup attempts on the fake name you're going to need both tags.

Think of "testip" as "doesnotresolve"

HTH,
