While I was at it, I added DNS roundrobin matching, and numeric number-of-return-record matching. check_dns_host on nagiosexchange.com. Let me know if you've got any feedback/requests/suggestions. /eli -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net on behalf of Francois Caen Sent: Sun 4/23/2006 1:10 PM To: Nagios Users Mailing List Subject: [Nagios-users] which dns check to use? Hello all, There are several dns service checks out there: check_dns, check_dig, the broken check_dns_random, and then a couple user-created ones. Which one do you use to check the health of your name servers, and why? -- Francois Caen, RHCE, CCNA SpiderMaker, LLC ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
