Monit DNS check response

[David Jones]

Does monit have the ability to check a DNS server for a specific response?  I have a need to check a local DNS server and if it becomes unhealthy, shutdown the bgpd service to send DNS traffic to a different data center.

Something like this?

check host nstest.example.com with address 127.0.0.1

    if failed port 53

        use type udp protocol dns

        content = "1.2.3.4"

    then exec "/bin/systemctl stop bgpd"

    else if succeeded then exec "/bin/systemctl start bgpd"

I already have an A record for "nstest" with a value of 1.2.3.4. 

Thanks,

Dave
