I have a simple question about the "dialup" directive in bb-hosts, the
one that is supposed to come immediately after a page or subpage
directive, and is used to ping a range of hosts, like a modem pool. Our
sysadmin tells me that he read (in a man page online?) that this
directive is not implemented. And it's acting like it isn't: we can't
get it to do anything, despite trying every possible syntax that could
make sense. But on the other hand people online talk about this as if
they're using it just fine. So -- is it implemented? We are using
hobbit version 4.2-beta-20060605.
It was implemented some time ago, but I've had reports coming in over
the past couple of months that it doesn't work in the 4.2 test releases
that are out. I then asked if anyone was using it, because if not I'd
prefer to just rip it out instead of trying to fix it - and so far
noone has stepped forward to say they really need it.
So ... do you need it ? If people want it, I'd really rather implement
it quite differently than the old BB implementation - as a normal
network test associated with a host, e.g.
0.0.0.0 vpnpool.foo.com # iprange=172.16.1.1-172.16.1.100
