Hi folks,

today both our dns servers went out of function.

As a result every service check in nagios timed out after 10 sec. and was CRITICAL.

EVERY one of several hundred!

Since service check definitions depend on host definitions and host definitions contain ip addresses I would not have expected a dns outage to have any effect on nagios' service checks.

Can anyone explain why there IS an effect? I would like to understand it more deeply.

Dirk
