Use check_dig instead.

In my copy of Nagios w/ plugins , the check_dns plugin relies on
nslookup. There are some unfortunate side-effects when trying to use
this plugin to monitor the DNS response from a specific server. If the
server supplied to the plugin on the commandline fails to respond, the
nslookup cmd will fallback to using servers in the monitoring nodes
/etc/resolv.conf. So a failing server will appear to work if any of
those other servers respond... Anyone thought to move this plugin to use
'dig'?
