Hi guys,
I am having trouble getting a PTR record check working with check_dig

check_dig fails....
check_dig -H "8.8.8.8" -l "74.203.101.150" -T "PTR" -v
/usr/bin/dig @8.8.8.8 -p 53 74.203.101.150 -t PTR
Looking for: '74.203.101.150'
DNS CRITICAL - 0.169 seconds response time (No ANSWER SECTION
found)|time=0.169224s;;;0.000000


dig works correctly....
dig @8.8.8.8 -x 74.203.101.150

; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-16.P1.el5 <<>> @8.8.8.8 -x 74.203.101.150

I can't get check_dig to work with any PTR record using any nameserver.

Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
