Title: Custom DNS Query

Hi,   some of my icons are seems like empty, is there a solution for that? From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2005 3:34 PM To: WhatsUp_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Custom DNS Query Thanks for this.   I have tried and failed with this method. If I can make enough time I will work out the syntax and try again.   We return multiple DNS responses based on proximity, so I need to create an either/or type reply. This functionality comes out of the box in plain text with some comparable and lesser products we trialled. Seems strange its not included in WUP. Is there  a "feature request" service at Ipswitch that anybody knows about?   The feature is already there to create a new DNS monitor, you just cant do anything with it. It seems a bit harsh to have to build one from scratch in hex. It kinda defeats the object of proactive monitoring if your'e going to be spending hours configuring everytime you change something. It seems a lot easier to build custom HTTP scripts for example, not so with DNS.   Thanks anyway     From: Lloyd Wheeler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 April 05 14:02 To: WhatsUp_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] 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.
