Hi,

the idea is that 'host' should contain the DNS server to be monitored,
and 'lookup' should contain the question (be it an A record for a host
name or a PTR, MX or whatever). Neither should contain any '@' signs.

So, if you're interested in comparing the performance of two different DNS
servers, just put them into 'host' and use the same question ('lookup')
for both.

Hope this makes sense,
