4.2.8 DNS server check
The DNS server check can read a specific „record‟ type on a DNS server and then compare it to a
specified (expected result) value. In addition, you can also specify how this check will interpret
the result after comparing the value returned by the DNS server to the parameter specified in
the „Record values‟ field.
For example, this check can read the „A record‟ (address record) from the DNS server and verify
if it includes the IP address specified in the expected result field (i.e., „Record values‟ field).
