Look up "badhttp" in the bb-hosts man pages.
Thanks, Larry Barber

Hello list,
I've gotten a pair of hobbit servers set up, one in each data center, in a specific lan.
I'm noticing that, due to the many transient network glitches in wan connectivity, that the hobbit history shows a lot of red/green/red/green. This appears to be different behavior from bb, which gives us some knobs to turn, mitigating the effects of the transient glitches and preventing the alternating red/green connectivity status. (We've got people watching bbdisplay pages, who panic when they see red.)
If a bb-net test fails, bb waits "n" seconds and tries again, and if it still fails, it waits "m" seconds and tries a third time, and if that fails as well, the connectivity goes red. The delays between try 1 and try 2, and the delay between try 2 and try 3, are configurable in bb, but I don't see any such option in hobbit, nor is it obvious whether there is more than 1 attempt made to perform a network test.
Can anyone confirm or deny that this is the case, and if not, point me to the correct configuration option?
Thanks & Regards,
Joe
