autodiscovery wizard issue

[niebais]

I'm using nagios 2012-2.8c
Centos 64bit

I'm running this on a client network and it isn't resolving hostnames.
I ran nslookup on the IP and it returns just fine.

I looked at the output file and ran the command manually and the hostname doesn't show up. Then I ran the same command and added the --system-dns flag. It found the expected hostname correctly then.

I realize that this is a configuration issue on the client network. The nagios code is source guarded, so I can't add the option myself unless I write a replacement script for autodiscovery_new.php.

Usage of the --system-dns flag adds (on average in my limited testing) .1 seconds to the nmap query.

It looks like this is a bug in nmap, but at the same time, I believe that it would be helpful to add that flag as one of the options on the call screen.

Thanks.

I'm going to go ahead and add this to an internal feature request instead of a bug, thanks for reporting this method!
