dns

+ +DNS stands for Domain Name Service. This is the service that provides maps +between hostnames and IP addresses. This check is performed by connecting to +the DNS server at the remote machine and asking it to provide it's own IP +address based on it's name. If the server is down, it won't be able to do this +function, and an error will be returned.

+ +If this service is down, many problems could appear. People will report slow +networks or systems (due to timeouts while looking up addresses). People might +not be able to connect to services or systems. In general if DNS is down you +will run into multiple widespread problems.
