Hi Scott, Not sure if nvsniffer can execute remote commands, but I would do one of the following. Run a nslookup for a particular domain and point to a specific DNS server grep for a valid return, either by looking for no errors or a returned IP and if it fails. 1. Send a custom trap to NetView or 2. Send a postemsg (not really NetView related) Sandro Seminara Magnum Technologies 312-560-0973 Scott Hammons <shammons AT aisconsulting DOT net> wrote: Hi all, Environment: NetView 7.1.3, Solaris 8 Is there a way that I can configure NetView to monitor a DNS service? I know I can configure nvsniffer to monitor the port, but I'm interested in setting up a monitoring solution to ensure that the DNS Server is able to respond correctly to a record query. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott Scott Hammons Principal Consultant Advanced Integrated Solutions, Inc. Mobile: (210) 378-8229
