I got two domain controllors with DNS. What can i change so he will verifiy both dns and not only one?

Hi @ inform ,

This means that you have a dynamic IP. It changed from 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.30.

Therefore use 10.0.0.30

Therefore use 10.0.0.30

I got two DNS servers which work together, one is 10.0.0.2 and other is 10.0.0.30, they both on static ip.

When in nagios, i want to check the dns service, i dont know how to enter both ips, and when i enter only one of thems, i get the error that is above.

Since you have 2 DNS servers that you want to check ,you should the use the advanced check_dns plugin for that.
