Bill, I am trying to achieve following, have intermapper two different digs , one - dig @master-dns-server-address . SOA grab the serial "2009081901" and other dig @slave-dns-server-address . SOA and grab the serial from there, if they match everything is great. If the serial # in master > slave --- there is mismatch and for some reason the slave dns server is not updating in timely manner.
I believe this would have been an awesome feature if Intermapper could provide as a feature , mis-matching SOA on master and slave (s) is a very important thing that needs monitoring for many . >>> insert your peer-pressuring supportive words here <<< :) cheers Mehmet On Jan 10, 2010, at 3:12 PM, William Fisher wrote: > On 1/9/10 3:12 PM, Mehmet Akcin wrote: >> I am trying to build a custom DNS Probe which would check the SOA for domain >> "example.com" on server1 and if matches with the SOA for domain >> "example.com" in server2 , it would be a happy probe:) >> >> 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.
