<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Some general questions, based on 4.1...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">A) Do you know if the keywords in bb-hosts are case sensitive? I noticed that the documentation is very careful to match case in examples as well as the definitions -- but some keywords are in ALL CAPS and others are lower case. One wonders why this is so…unless they are case-insensitive, and it is just a curiosity in Hobbit-lore...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">B) Regarding the "route" keyword? Can these be chained, or does the whole path have to be specified for each item in the file?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Example: hobbit server -- firewall -- router a -- router b -- host -- app</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Can it be coded this way?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Firewall no route statement</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Router A route:firewall</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Router B route:router A</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Host route:router B</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Or do I have to say this:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Router B route:firewall,router A</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Host route:firewall,router A,router B</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">C) I have some custom tests that are run by the client on "Host" -- these messages (which go purple) don't seem to get suppressed if a node is unreachable because of something else. Is there some way to code this to take advantage of the downstream suppression?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">BTW -- Henrik -- I have seen the downstream suppression stuff work -- awesome! It is a lot more difficult to achieve this in my commercial tools.</FONT></P>
