I am trying to use the check_http plugin in Nagios 3 to see if relibase.ebi.ac.uk is OK.
When I call it from the command prompt I get this: trueman% /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http relibase HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found trueman% /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http relibase.ebi.ac.uk HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found trueman% /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http relibase.ebi.ac.uk. HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found However if I access relibase in Firefox (or with wget) the index page is returned normally. A little digging later has revealed that there are two relibases: trueman% dig relibase ; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> relibase ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 12743 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;relibase.

It seems to be resolving the first one rather than the second one. If I try to access "http://relibase/"; from my desktop I get "The web server you are trying to contact has closed down. For further information, please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]" which is not what I get if I access "http://relibase.ebi.ac.uk/";. I'm going to try to get the systems deparment here to fix this so that both queries, but is there a work around? (other than using www4 or the IP directly).
