[smokeping-users] DNS Probes keep timing out

I am trying to get DNS probes to work. I installed bind 9.3.0 on my solaris
box. When I run smokeping I keep getting

DNS: www.cnn.com: timeout (100 s) reached, killing the probe.
DNS: www.mozilla.org: timeout (100 s) reached, killing the probe.

I can do a dig www.cnn.com and get results fine. I did a snoop and can see
the traffic go back and forth and the result coming back from the dns
server with an IP for www.cnn.com.
What am I doing wrong?

My config looks like this


+DNS
binary = /opt/bind9/bin/dig


++ DNS
menu = DNS
title = DNS Resolution
probe = DNS

+++ cnn
menu = www.cnn.com
title = www.cnn.com DNS Lookup
host = www.cnn.com
++++ PROBE_CONF
lookup=www.cnn.com


+++ mozilla
menu = mozilla
title = www.mozilla.org DNS Lookup
host = www.mozilla.org
++++ PROBE_CONF
lookup=www.mozilla.org


Thanks
Kamran
