I understand most people run fping rather than hobbitping due to the issues with hobbitping not accurately reporting the roundtrip times... but running fping on 4100+ hosts can take up to 120 seconds in my environment, it seems.
Has anyone used any specific options on their FPING configuration setting to optimize fping performance for this purpose? Thanks for any suggestions. -Alan

For the record, I have found the following setting in hobbitserver.cfg works well for me: FPING="/usr/sbin/fping -i10 -t1500 -r2"

You might also be able to do something with BBLOCATION in server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg. That allows you to specify which Xymon server will do the pinging. You'd need to have a couple of secondary Xymon servers spread out around your network, but they wouldn't need to be big systems as they'd just be doing the network tests and reporting to the central Xymon server.
