check_hostname is used to ensure a windows host resolves to the same address on an authoritative name server.

If the reverse-resolve does not match the machines IP address and local host name, critical is returned.

This is written in perl and works under tinyperl. Put the tinyperl runtime and this script in nsclient++/scripts/perl
define service{
service_description host name
check_command check_nrpe!check_hostname
}

nsclient.ini:
[/settings/external scripts/scripts]
check_hostname = scriptsperlcheck_hostname.exe
