CONN test fails for short times

[thorsten.erdmann (at) daimler.com]

Hi

I often see that the CONN test fails for one minute (which is my polling 
interval) on many machines. If I run a normal ping command I also 
sometimes see a single lost packet. It seems that this is the normal 
behaviour on our location? Would you see that as normal, too? And how can 
I configure hobbit(ping) for some fault tolerance. E.g. only report a 
failure if mor than 3 subsequent pings fail. I need that on a global 
location so adding a badconn tag to all hosts is not what I want.

I use hobbit 4.2.0
