[smokeping-users] Smokeping problem in case of DNS outages

Fri May 7 15:01:11 MEST 2004

Today we had a major network outage: Our connection to the internet
was cut.

When I tried to use smokeping to get some details, I got this page:

WARNING: Hostname 'hummus.dyndns.org' does currently not resolve to an
IP address

Content-Type: text/plain

WARNING: Hostname 'shawarma.dyndns.org' does currently not resolve to
an IP address

Smokeping should "pollute" the HTML code with these remarks, thus
rendering the webpage unrenderable.

This is smokeping 1.28
