check_dig display error

[rick]

In attempting to set up check_dig I am having a problem with Nagios 2.5
displaying a warning message when there is no valid reason that I can 
tell.

The first section below shows the output of the Nagios display indicating 
that response time is 0.072 seconds but a warning is issued.  If I 
understand the settings for the checkcommands.cfg the warning should not 
be issued for a time interval of at least three seconds and critical 
status should not be indicated for less than a five second response.

Running check_dig from the command line always has shown response times of 
less than one second so I am having trouble understanding the why I keep 
receiving warning messages from Nagios. Can someone to point me in 
the right direction to fix this?

I had googled this problem and found only one possibility for a code 
patch for the configure script but found that it was incorporated.

thanks
rick
