Neither success nor failure?

Hi All, I have a use case I am not sure Monit can handle. I looked at the
document and tried keywords in this mailing list, but nothing came up.

I have a script which checks another node for some information, and then
reports success or failure (via exit code).The script works fine in Monit.

But due to some dodgy DNS service, sometimes when the script tries to get
information from the other node, the DNS lookup fails. So we don't know
whether the information would have resulted in a success or failure, to
report to Monit.

My question: Is there a way to tell Monit during that script check interval
that the results of the check are indeterminate, that it should maintain
the previous success/failure state until it the next time it is able to
definitively report a true or false status?

Thanks!
