|   What I've done because I like to use hostname's in my configs instead 
|of ip addresses.
|   1.  Create a monitor using the check_dns plugin which queries the dns 
|server directly by IP address attempting to resolve 1 host in my DNS 
|records.
|   2.   Setup a master dependency that every service relies on.  So if 
|my DNS service goes into a warning/critical/unknown state none of my 
|other  serfvices will execute.

Instead of or in addition to #2, you can
run a caching name server (named or
something else) on the nagios system.
