Hello!

This is the tcpdump of the DNS traffic seen from the server running monit.

19:00:42.561736 IP 94.237.82.24.54402 > 71.2.236.171.53: 1+ NS? . (17)
19:02:38.357505 IP 94.237.82.24.34137 > 71.2.236.171.53: 1+ NS? . (17)

This is the alert:

----- Forwarded message from [email protected] -----

	Description: failed protocol test [DNS] at [71.2.236.171]:53 [UDP/IP]  
-- DNS: error receiving response -- Resource temporarily unavailable


Could it be that monit waits 1 second before reporting the DNS server offline?
