PRTG and monitoring DNS servers

Votes:

0

I have successfully set up a sensor to monitor our nameservers. (DNS) We use a load balancing appliance and hence our dns servers can be one of 2 addresses. I see you can set up the DNS sensor to email/SMS you if the DNS server IP address changes. This seems to be only one address. Can you specify to "alarm" if the DNS server isn't one of a number of IP numbers, or request an update to your system so this is possible? I can see this as being a very useful sensor for security purposes, especially with the DNS spoofing going on in the Internet.

Thanks in advance

Chris

I'm afraid this is not possible at the moment. We might add this kind of sensor to the wishlist.

Please see also Can DNS Sensor check all the IP address of one Domain site?
