@abh - Can you confirm if the health check works in the dev branch.

I see the https://github.com/abh/geodns/blob/dev/dns/hc.example.com.json file, but my tests with "health" label enabled didn't work as expected!.

So can you clarify what works and what not?

I have tested it, but the health test does not work too. Is there any update? @abh

I wrote this patch a loooooong time ago. I haven't played with it for a while, and not since it was merged.

Does it pass "go test"? Do you see anything in the logs? Looks like abh@ refactored it a little while ago and maybe something broke. I see this in zones.go:

    // temporary, using this to keep the healthtest code
// compiling and vaguely included
healthChecker bool

which doesn't look good!

Trying to configure HC, but is not works for some reason as expected. When i am configuring HC on www like tucs, the ping stop to respond at all (even if port 80 is healthy) when i am removing the health: {} it's starting to work. The same thing is happening with tucs. Any advise help?

Looks like I have a issue with health checks as well. The DNS server doesn't return any record if I have this health object defined:

            "health": {
                "type": "tcp",
                "frequency": 15,
                "retry_time": 5,
                "retries": 2,
                "timeout": 3,
                "port": 25565
            }

@abh some news about it?
