# Usage:
# describe host('example.com') do
#   it { should be_resolvable }
#   it { should be_reachable }
#   its('ipaddress') { should include '93.184.216.34' }
# end
#
# To verify a hostname with protocol and port
# describe host('example.com', port: 53, proto: 'udp') do
#   it { should be_reachable }
# end
#
# We do not support the following serverspec syntax:
# describe host('example.com') do
#   it { should be_reachable.with( :port => 22 ) }
#   it { should be_reachable.with( :port => 22, :proto => 'tcp' ) }
#   it { should be_reachable.with( :port => 53, :proto => 'udp' ) }
#
#   it { should be_resolvable.by('hosts') }
#   it { should be_resolvable.by('dns') }
# end
