I'm working on a replacement for check_dns which does its own DNS work rather than relying on shelling out to something else... unfortunately, I'm not much of a C coder, so it's in Perl.  If I can get permission from my boss I'll share it back to the community as a replacement for what's there now.

i use check_dig for years now.
