NimbostratusDNS Monitor
I am load balancing DNS servers and the UDP monitor does not effectively test DNS server health. How would I write a custom monitor that could do a DNS query that would determine the nodes health? ...
Does that really work in testing the DNS service on the specified nodes? It looks to me like it makes a call to gethostbyname to resolve "www.yahoo.fr". This will use the local systems nameserver to resolve the name. So from what I can see this only tests your local DNS server as well as yahoo.fr's.
How it this testing DNS running on the nodes from a monitoring standpoint? Maybe I'm just missing something...
