:) Thanks.
Perhaps we should setup a distributed system for checking things rather than
another SPOF. That's distributed both geographically and administratively
and using several code-bases.
In this context, I'd expect lots of false alarms due to people changing their
DNS servers but forgetting to inform their monitoring setup (either internal
or outsourced).
How would you check/verify that the communication path from the monitoring
agency to the right people in your NOC was working correctly?
