check_infoblox
This is a plugin to monitor Infoblox appliances. It uses SNMP to retrieve the information from the appliance's management ip address. The plugin can also be used to measure and graph DNS resolving of domains.
Please find the plugin, updated documentation and check examples here:

Works almost as intended.

1 of 2 Infoblox grids gives correct return on the dns query. The other says "DNS STATS WARNING - Could not find domain xxx.xx", unknown why since the domain exists at the grid members.

Also it would be great if all he hardware checks could be combined to one single check with multi-line output. Cpu, mem, temp, info for example.
