Hello, I have a suspected failure of DNS resolution i.e .suspect server.
Can anyone suggest a tool that can perform lookups continuously to the server (just like continuous nslookups) that I can monitor over time to see if and when failures are occurring ?

thanks for any advice.

Smokeping, if you've got a Raspberry Pi sitting around you can get it running on that.

Google ippatrol

Cheap enough for hourly testing that IMHO you'd have rocks in your head to roll your own.

Pingdom can test/check dns on a schedule (and much more)
