<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There seems to be a problem with check_dns. I
run RedHat 7.3 with all required updates, Nagios 1.1, Plugins
1.3.1.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here are the scenarios.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Dns Server is up and contactable.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> check_dns returns the correct
information, reporting that the service is etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Dns Server is up but not contactable (firewall
blocking requests)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> check_dns returns that the
service is ok. (10 secs responce, addresses is/all (null))</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> True answer
with -v flag is connection timed out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Dns Server does not exist</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> check_dns returns Segmentation
Fault.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any Ideas how to correct this?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>
