I have a script that I through together to do this. It is single
threaded tho.
No real documentation on it, but if you want it.. I could throw
something
together and forward it to ya. Basically the script uses nc to do
a port
check.

I still think there is a simpler way to do this. I think I saw somethink like this in the past.

1.2.3.4 <http://1.2.3.4> host.net <http://host.net> # testip ssh 0.0.0.0 <http://0.0.0.0> host.net <http://host.net> #

I think that would be:

1.2.3.4 host.net # conn testip 0.0.0.0 host.net # noconn ssh

This would make the ping test ping 1.2.3.4, and the ssh test would be the DNS ip of host.net. I don't think Hobbit "likes" when you do that though, I know if you have duplicate hostnames it makes hobbitest turn yellow and fuss at you :)
