Mike,
I use "dialup" to flag a host that may or may not be there when I ping it. If the host is not accessible, the status is clear instead of red. Handy for test machines. This dates back to Big Brother. Could this be what you are trying to use?

Hi Hobbit users, I have a simple question about the "dialup" directive in bb-hosts, the one that is supposed to come immediately after a page or subpage directive, and is used to ping a range of hosts, like a modem pool. Our sysadmin tells me that he read (in a man page online?) that this directive is not implemented. And it's acting like it isn't: we can't get it to do anything, despite trying every possible syntax that could make sense. But on the other hand people online talk about this as if they're using it just fine. So -- is it implemented? We are using hobbit version 4.2-beta-20060605. Thanks,
- Mike Serra
