DNS 2003 Server External Addresses Resolution Alert

With the DNS MP (version 6.0.6480.0) this Alert keeps popping up:
DNS 2003 Server External Addresses Resolution Alert.
Remedy is simple: the hostname has to be adjusted so it doesn't contain the prefix 'www.'. For example, 'www.microsoft.com' becomes 'microsoft.com'.

Another solution is to adjust the 'Query Type' of this monitor (DNS 2003 External Resolution Monitor) to an A-record. With this adjustment the hostname doesn't have to be changed.

This can be done by an override on the monitor DNS 2003 External Resolution Monitor of this MP.
