Initial Comment:
Hi.

This is from the old / soon to be disabled again Nagios Plugins bug tracker that used to be at Nagios itself.
I've just copied this bug over. I'm not the original reporter and have no idea about the thoughts about this bug.

This used to be: http://tracker.nagios.org/view.php?id=135

I guess there are 2 issues:

1. The resolved IP addresses are not returned when the plugin is run with -s option on some DNS servers:

#./check_dns -H www.google.com -s 192.228.79.201 (<-rood DNS Server)
DNS OK: 0.201 seconds response time. www.google.com returns |time=0.200703s;;;0.000000

When using other local DNS:

#./check_dns -H www.google.com -s 192.168.115.5
#DNS OK: 0.065 seconds response time. www.google.com returns 74.125.87.103,74.125.87.104,74.125.87.105,74.125.87.106,74.125.87.147,74.125.87.99|time=0.064952s;;;0.000000

2. The warning & critical thresholds are not reflected in the output performance:

#./check_dns -H www.google.com -s 192.228.79.201 -w 10 -c 20
DNS OK: 0.213 seconds response time. www.google.com returns |time=0.212656s;;;0.000000

#./check_dns -H www.google.com -s 192.168.115.5 -w 10 -c 20
DNS OK: 0.020 seconds response time. www.google.com returns 74.125.87.103,74.125.87.104,74.125.87.105,74.125.87.106,74.125.87.147,74.125.87.99|time=0.019878s;;;0.000000

Could you please investigate this?
