# 3rd post re problems

[Joe]

Don't know if I missed any replies but was wondering if anyone on this list 
has any suggestions to two annoying problems:

Nagios is doing it again. The DNS servers went down and the remote 
monitoring computer shows:

DNS ok - 10 seconds response time, Address(es) is/are (null)


Also Nagios is sending two HOSTS up messages for the servers being monitored.


Any one have an idea why is Nagios doing this?
