which dns check to use?

[Eli Stair]

I don't recall what (if any) issues I had with check_dig, but check_dns doesn't handle responses from nslookup for matching an A record when checking a PTR (leaves the trailing "." in the match string).  While I was at it, I added DNS roundrobin matching, and numeric number-of-return-record matching.

check_dns_host on nagiosexchange.com.  Let me know if you've got any feedback/requests/suggestions.

Hello all,

There are several dns service checks out there: check_dns, check_dig,
the broken check_dns_random, and then a couple user-created ones.

Which one do you use to check the health of your name servers, and why?
