On the Display page we have a server where the conn test is persistently Purple, but if one clicks on the status, the detailed Status page shows Green.
The DNS configuration may be causing issues:
% dig +noall +answer natwebvaii01.er.usgs.gov natwebvaii01.er.usgs.gov. 43200 IN CNAME igsaaahigsvaii1.er.usgs.gov. igsaaahigsvaii1.er.usgs.gov. 300 IN A 130.11.9.89
% dig +noall +answer -x 130.11.9.96 96.9.11.130.in-addr.arpa. 43200 IN PTR natwebvaii04.er.usgs.gov.
Hoped to be able to address this with hosts.cfg entry:
130.11.9.89 natwebvaii01.er.usgs.gov # CLIENT:igsaaahigsvaii1.er.usgs.gov
alas no.
I'm not clear enough on how the status that is seen for an individual test is propagated up to a page view to know where to look when there is a conflict.
