DNS - Checkking

[Hari Sekhon]

go read the nagios docs, all of them before trying to run nagios. it is 
a lot of work and you'll never get it right until you've read the whole 
thing at least twice.

your path to your plugin is probably wrong, this is a resource you 
define. You should be able to easily see what is wrong when you read the 
doc.
