I thought there was a way to do this.... but in some cases, i'd really
like an alert to fire if certain IP addresses _become_ pingable. Is
this possible in bb-hosts or only with some alert scripting?

bb-hosts man page says:
conn The "conn" test (which does a ping of the host) is enabled for all hosts by default, and normally you just want to disable it using "noconn" or "noping". However, on the rare occasion where you may want to check that a host is NOT up, you can specify it as an explicit test, and use the normal test modifiers, e.g. "!conn" will be green when the host is NOT up, and red if it does appear on the network.

Thanks.... selective blindness on my part I guess :)
