- Note: this window is only included in the standard edition of Simon, not Simon Express and Simon Free. Learn more...
The Specific DNS service is displayed when you choose Specific DNS in the Service pop-up menu in the New / Edit Test window.
This service attempts to resolve a domain name using a specified DNS server.
Name to lookup: Enter a domain name to look for.
Name server address: Enter a DNS server to use to check for the domain name.
IP Checking: Select Accept any result to treat the test as a success if the DNS server returns any valid IP address, or Result must match to treat it as a failure if the domain resolves to an IP other than the specified one.
Disable recursive queries: If checked, only the specified DNS server is queried; otherwise others are allowed to weigh in too.
