Re: [Bigsister-general] Dns problems

["Douglas Wheet" <suppressed>]

My apologies for the last email, I misunderstood what you mean't, I have 
added my monitor server inside the hosts file, now they don't all go purple, 
however dns doesn't alarm. This is what it says when I click on the link

This shouldn't say ok. now I do have a entry in the hosts file for the 
server its on, but thats standard stuff, everybox should have that so my 
question is, if its timing out, why is it not sending an alarm?  Thanks

dns OK
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
