I am trying to build a custom DNS Probe which would check the SOA for domain

any ideas if anyone has done something with SOA's before?

I see the DNS related probes dont contain SOA but other record types such as 
A/MX etc, is there a way to get the editable format of the DNS Probe to play 
and modify... this is if acceptable...
The editable content of the DNS probes is in the BuiltInProbes.zip file in the "InterMapper Settings/Probes" directory. However, when you look at the content of the DNS probes, you are going to see that there are only two sections: header and parameters, and the probe's type is "built-in". The DNS probes are implemented in C++ code that is linked within InterMapper itself. There is no way to write a custom UDP probe at this time.

I am interested in what you are trying to do. To make sure I understand, please describe the logic of the probe. Given a raw SOA response of the following format, what do you want to check? (the fields are domain, email, serial number, refresh, update retry, expiry, minimum)

ns1.example.com. dns.example.com. 2009081901 3600 900 864000 43200
