Hey all,
I've made a modification to dns-query.monitor to accept a config file
for the underlying NET::DNS::Resolver. That works fine.
However, no matter what I do, i cannot get it to stop adding my search
path onto the domain I want to check. Because I want to check specific
subdomains, they always pass.
I've been trying to use
recurse
dnsrch
options in my config file, but they don't seem to work. I will post a
patch if anyone wants this once I figure out how to effectively make
patch files :)
If anyone else has done this that would be great.
basically if I put in a bad domain name like www.bddddomain.com, it
tries that, then tries it again, adding my local search domain and says
its good.
I thought dnsrch would have helped

How about adding a trailing '.' to the name?

I have dns_lut.monitor (lut = 'lookup time') which logs the response time.

I thought that I had released it, but now I see that I have not added the
pod man page, so that is why it was not released.

Here are my options, with tiny documentation:

"n|name=s" =\$NameToLookup, # FQDN should terminate with a "." to prevent recursion
"v|verbose" =\$Verbose,
"p|pingfirst" =\$PingFirst, # Don't try DNS lookup if down
"t|timeout=i" =\$T,
"T|alarmtime=i" =\$AlarmTime,
"l|log=s" =\$LogFile,
"d|debug" =\$Debug,
