Thank you John! That's far more possible causes than I thought of. C seems the most likely culprit since there is a second system with a similar name (a clone) on the same network. I also can't Remote Console that other system so it might be misconfigured.

Since the 'conn' test is normally populated by a server-side instance of xymonnet, I can think of a few ways this could happen:
A) DNS round-robin (multiple A-records), one of which isn't responding
B) More than one instance of xymonnet running, one of which is on a network which is firewalled from the host
C) An errant client sending a 'status' message with the 'conn' tag
D) Multipathing on your network, one path of which isn't working

So now it's mostly a curiosity. Has anyone else seen a system report flapping like this?
