<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN contentEditable=false
style="DISPLAY: inline-block"></SPAN>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> I work for an organization
that has about 100 firewalls deployed. We currently use hobbit to ping all
the interfaces to see if they are up. Out of about 500 interfaces we
are pinging there are about 10 that will show up as being down on the hobbit web
pages but when you ping from the hobbit server manually you get a response that
they are up. Any ideas as to why they would show up as down on the web
pages but you get responses from manual pings. Is there somethign
different about the pings used for the webpages?</DIV>
