Kris,

Just have look to the man page of xymonnet:

Note: xymonnet performs the connectivity test (ping) based on the hostname, unless the host is tagged with "testip" or the "--dns=ip" option is used. So the target of the connectivity test can be determined by your /etc/hosts file or DNS.

Cordialement, Regards,Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

This may be a stupid question but how do I configure a host in my hosts.cfg file to respond to ping using a dynamic DNS name instead of an IP? I'd like to have my server monitor my home router but it's IP changes.

Thank you.
