check_dig woes

[Eric Gregory]

I'm trying to monitor DNS service using the check_dig command, unfortunately it doesn't seem to compile into the checkcommands.cfg by defualt so I'm guessing I have to add it manually, I've done so using section 1 below,  I then added section 2 to services.cfg to implement a check of the server.  I'm sure I've done it wrong but I can't find an example of the right way to do it.  status.cgi tells me the status is unknown and the status information is DNS problem - No ANSWER SECTION found 

I am running on freebsd 4.5, nagios 1.0, apache2.0  Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong, I'm pretty sure it's in my checkcommands.cfg but I couldn't find a proper configuration for the command anywhere.

Thanks
Eric
