[nv-l] [POLLING] DHCP, WINS and DNS

["Davis, Donald" <donald.davis@firstcitizens.com>]

I am using APM, MLM (threshold query) and SIA (command table) to fire off a custom script, every 5  minutes, that does a nslookup to verify that DNS is alive and well.

I also do a tcp/53 port query with nvsniffer every 5 minutes. I use this method so that APM places an "Meter" icon at the interface representing status.

Now I need to actively monitor DHCP and WINS in a similar fashion.
Has anyone written anything to query these?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I will share my DNS (and Frame Relay)  monitor with anyone that's interested.
Be advised however, that iImplementing APM, MLM and SIA is not trivial !!!
