Setup steps: Monitor a DNS resolution
In the address, write the name to resolve, without "http://": "www.example.com".
Pick another record type in the options if you do not want an IPv4 address (A record).
To monitor your own DNS server, enter its IP address in "DNS server to query".
To detect hijacking, list the addresses the answer must contain in "Expected values".
Heads-up. Give the DNS server by its IP address, not by a name.
