I see that but I would prefer to have my monitoring in-house and not
dependent on external services. What DNS issues with DANE would only
be apparent from the outside? Different views? Even so, I have an
external monitoring point running Nagios for exactly these reasons. :)
So for me a nagios check would be better. But perhaps I'll have some
time and do it myself.
