SMTP and FTP Services Red

Hello,

On a few of our servers the SMTP and FTP services are RED but when I telnet to them, they do show the proper 220 status good. They are quite slow to respond though, taking sometimes 10-15 seconds. Is there anyway to get Hobbit to pause and wait for this? If not, how long does it wait before it shows a red status?

Thank you very much for your help.
