Currently most of hosts are ping test only. I can put more hosts on this hobbit server. 822 hosts is taking 42 seconds.
Answer I don't know is how many more hosts it can handle ?
A lot. Network tests are one thing; you can tweak the hobbitping or fping options to speed them up, and/or play with the concurrency and timeout settings for the bbtest-net tool. Which of these you use depends on your mix of tests.
How can I find what hosts are causing DNS lookup failures ?
See the bbtest-net man-page:
--dnslog=FILENAME
Log failed hostname lookups to the file FILENAME.
FILENAME should be a full pathname.
