Resolving Host Names via DNS

[Millard, Matt]

One thing that someone said they were doing at the LISA conference this year was setting up a local non-authoritative DNS copy that gets all updates, but is restricted to only be accessed by the local host.  Seemed like an interesting idea at the time.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#host says:

"You can use a FQDN to identify the host instead of an IP address, but if DNS services are not availble this could cause problems."

Though I imagine its fun having many services set up with paging alerts this way, and then DNS goes down ;)

Cheers,
Carsten
