I've read the manpage, but I don't understand this test. I thought I could use this to test if an A record exists for a certain host.

For example: Host=mail.domain.com

in the bb-hosts: 1.2.3.4 mail.domain.com # dns=A:mail.domain.com

The test seems to be querying mail.domain.com com for the record, not querying the nameservers for the hobbit machine set in resolv.conf. Am I just wrong about what this test does?

Thanks, Michael
