DNS Test - No Record Lookup
Hi,
I have configured one of my DNS servers to run the dns test native to xymon. I have the directive "dns" specified in the bb-hosts file and the test shows up as a column however the test does NOT perform a lookup of the servers dns A record as it should. All i get is the "Service DNS on SERVER.DOMAIN.COM is OK (up) and then a graph immediately below.
I have also tired using the dns=a:server.domain.com with no luck either.
I have posted a screen shot on PhotoBucket - http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/xx256/mfisher_xymon/dns.jpg
Does anybody have any insight as to why the dns lookups are not being ran?

I don't have a Xymon system handy to check, does the doc say it does a lookup of the A record?
A check of the list archive uncovers this (which I remembered because I was part of the thread :) ):

Based upon the configs on www.xymon.com, it should lookup on it self..but i have also tried manually add the dns record check and no dice as well
Just as Craig suggested, first check the server itself. Can it resolve DNS?, do you have the correct DNS addresses in your IP configuration? Can you do a dig/dnslookup using the servers in your configuration?
Also, I tried opening the link but I was not able to see the picture, but then, it might be my content filtering

The xymon server can correctly resolve dns and i have included the dig command in a recent reply. For some reason, it just doesnt include it in the dns test....
