check_dns false positive

Hi All

We used the Nagios Plugin Release 1.14, 1.15 and 2.0 and today we change our DNS Server to a other. Then we disabled the DNS Service, but the check returns a OK state.
I might also do something wrong, but it could be a bug ;)

Code: Select all

[root@nagios plugins]$ ./check_dns -s "IP from a non DNS Server" -H google.com
DNS OK: 4.016 seconds response time. google.ch returns |time=4.016219s;;;0.000000

Code: Select all

[root@nagios plugins]$ ./check_dns -s "IP from a DNS Server" -H google.com
DNS OK: 0.011 seconds response time. google.ch returns 173.194.40.55,173.194.40.56,173.194.40.63|time=0.011102s;;;0.000000
thank you guys, you are doing a great work

Well that's certainly interesting, nice catch! I'll get looking into this.
