Summary: check_dns fails with CNAMEs

Initial Comment:
check_dns gives an error if the hostname being checked
is a CNAME instead of an A record:

DNS CRITICAL - '/usr/bin/nslookup -sil' msg parsing
exited with no address


This patch may be sub-optimal, but corrects the problem
for me:

Which OS version/nslookup version are you running? On Ubuntu Linux (6.06)
everything is fine with cnames, too.

nslookup output looks like this:

...
foo.de.tld canonical name = bar.tld.
Name:   bar.tld
Address: x.x.x.x

Could you post your output, too?

Thanks Matthias
