DNS check - please help

[Nibin V M]

Hello,

I am a bit lost to find how the check_dns works. Please see the results
below.

# ./check_dns -H google.com --server=myserver.
DNS OK: 0.011 seconds response time. google.com returns
74.125.93.103,74.125.93.104,74.125.93.105,74.125.93.106,74.125.93.147,74.125.93.99|time=0.011378s;;;0.000000

# dig +short google.com @myserver
#

I am sure that recursion isn't enabled on "myserver". Do the plugin try to
resolve google.com using the name servers specified resolv.conf, if the -s
server doesn't provide any answer?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Nibin.
