Checking for reverse doesn't work, eg.:
#check_dns_host.pl -H 8.8.8.8.in-addr.arpa -Q REVERSE -W 1000 -C 1000
DNS OK! QUERYRETURNCODE=(NOERROR => 8.8.8.8.in-addr.arpa) ANSWERS=(0) QUERY_RETURNVAL=() ELAPSED=(8 ms) | DurationMS=8
Reverse checks always return ANSWERS=(0).
Forward seems to work fine.
#check_dns_host.pl -H 8.8.8.8.in-addr.arpa -Q REVERSE -W 1000 -C 1000
DNS OK! QUERYRETURNCODE=(NOERROR => 8.8.8.8.in-addr.arpa) ANSWERS=(0) QUERY_RETURNVAL=() ELAPSED=(8 ms) | DurationMS=8
Reverse checks always return ANSWERS=(0).
Forward seems to work fine.

from the commnd line runs without error ONLY if I change the line in the sub query_check like
"if (defined ($match)) {"
But Nagios always report the error "(Service check did not exit properly) "
Any suggestion?

On sub query_check, match verification:
if (defined $match)
replaced by:
if (defined @match)
if (defined $match)
replaced by:
if (defined @match)
