Hello I'm a little confused about the configuration of check_dns.
If I do: [EMAIL PROTECTED] libexec]$ ./check_dns 172.16.11.1 -H google.com I think I am querying the DNS service on server 172.16.11.1 for google.com . Is that correct? I get the following output: DNS OK: 0.196 seconds response time. google.com returns 64.233.167.99,64.233.187.99,72.14.207.99|time=0.196169s;;;0.000000 I would like to define the check_dns command in commands.cfg so that I can query any server for any given address but at the moment I can only seem to get it to check a fixed address so at the moment my check_dns command looks like this: # 'check_dns' command definition define command{ command_name check_dns command_line $USER1$/check_dns -H google.com # command_line $USER1$/check_dns } It seems that if I try to pass a different domain in my services.cfg to check_dns like this: check_command check_dns!yahoo.com or like this check_command check_dns! -H yahoo.com it has no effect. Have I defined my 'check_dns' command definition completely wrongly? I really want to be able to change the DNS query depending on the host that I'm querying. Would someone be kind enough to give me a hint or two?
