Two DNS queries for one hostname

Post by ThomasP1010 »

I need two DNS queries for time.windows.com:
DNS Query 1: <DNS Server01 IP> resolves time.windows.com to <40.119.6.228>
DNS Query 2: <DNS Server02 IP> resolves time.windows.com to <13.86.101.172>

NagiosXi won’t allow two separate queries to the same hostname, or will it?

The check_dns plugin doesn't allow it but the check_cluster plugin can group two or more checks like this together - https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... sters.html. Does this help with what you're trying to achieve?
