Title: Custom DNS Query

Check out the following from the WUP forum:  http://www.ipswitch.com/forums/shwmessage.aspx?ForumID=14&MessageID=6200   Lloyd Wheeler Helmerich & Payne, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 5:25 AM To: WhatsUp_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Custom DNS Query   Is there any way to create a custom DNS query for a FQDN instead of the standard localhost reverse lookup. Reason I ask is that we monitoring a multi-homed site with appliances that don't employ full dns, but rather respond to particular A records in a way that relates to link performance, availability etc. We have occasion when the DNS service is obviously up at these appliances, but certain FQDN are unresponsive and renders the websites unavailable. I know this features in other products but we really want to centralise everything through a WUP front-end.
