If you're using the bbtest-net tool from the bbgen package for 
network tests, then it will do what you want. See the section 
"BBTEST-NET TAGS FOR NON-STANDARD TESTS" in the bb-hosts man-page.

Basically, you define a test like "dns=mx:foo.com" and the DNS test
will do an MX lookup of foo.com. You can have multiple lookups in one 
test.
