Is DNS an integral part of network infrastructure, like routing software,
etc., or is it just a useful network-oriented application, like a telnet
or FTP daemon? DNS has always occupied this kind of gray area between the
two. Perhaps this explains why there hasn't been much of a consensus on
whether DNS should be monitored via SNMP at all, and, if monitored, what
aspects would form part of the MIB.

Of course, you can write anything you want with extensible SNMP agents.
