I checked up on this, and the "ldapyellowfail" option only applies to
the result of the LDAP *query* - if Hobbit cannot connect to the LDAP
server at all (i.e. it gets a "connection refused" or a timeout when
trying to bind to the LDAP server), then you'll get a red status.

The bb-hosts man-page does say so, although I'll admit it could be
made a bit clearer.

If that's not what you want, then you could use a "badldap:0:99999:99999" 
setting instead.
