You can see this on the "info" status page.
Neat!!! Network tests use:IP-address
The hosts that went red are in the same rack, across the street and 25 miles north. Other hosts farther and closer were just fine - but on different pages. I was pinging the host from the shell with 100% success while Xymon (hobbit) generated a new red page.
Not really critical at this point, since it's the first time I've had this problem on this hardware (and actually looking in the */conn/ directories the first issue in 2012 for most). I'll just keep this in mind if I see it again. If there are any other ideas, though, I would certainly like to investigate more.

Do you mean the red status details? Going to the host and checking this entry via history it says:

OK, so it did run the ping test and just didn't get an answer.
I'm not sure if this is working or not - 0.0.0.0 .default.
testip
Looking at the hosts 4 of them do not have testip listed, they may do DNS. The remainder do not use DNS and specifically state testip.
If you have that ".default." entry at the top of the file, all of your hosts will use the IP in the Xymon hosts-file.
You can see this on the "info" status page.
Now one of the hosts (compass) give me an Internal Server Error for this
one red entry. A couple other older red events work. Maybe a clue?
Not necessarily, it could just be that the detailed status log wasn't saved for some reason. Older Xymon versions could run into trouble when trying to display a status-page for which there was no logfile.
You can check in the ~hobbit/data/histlogs/**HOSTNAME/conn/ directory, there should be a logfile with a timestamp matching the history-log you can see.
From what you've shown here, I cannot say why those 6 systems went red. My best guess is that your network was discarding ping's for some reason (ICMP is low priority packets, and routers/switches are free to drop them if the load gets too high).
