RE: [Nagios-users] Resolving Host Names via DNS

[Millard, M. <Mil...@pr...>]

One thing that someone said they were doing at the LISA conference this =
year was setting up a local non-authoritative DNS copy that gets all =
updates, but is restricted to only be accessed by the local host.  =
Seemed like an interesting idea at the time.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#host says:

"You can use a FQDN to identify the host instead of an IP address, but =
if DNS services are not availble this could cause problems."

Though I imagine its fun having many services set up with paging alerts =
this way, and then DNS goes down ;)

Cheers,
Carsten
