Hi all, we are seeing a strange fping issue with Hobbit and I was wondering
if anyone may have seen the same.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=542505815-30112007> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>We have changed the IP addresses on a large number of systems we are
monitoring due to moving them to a new location. We updated the bb-hosts
file to have the new IPs, and DNS was also updated. However Hobbit
occasionally falls back to testing the old IP for no apparent reason.

This happens quite regularly as well, as seen here:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

The conn status page when green shows the correct IP address, and when red shows
the wrong (old) IP address. Nothing in the bb-hosts or DNS change during
this time.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=542505815-30112007> <FONT face=Arial size=2>I
ran a "fping -AeC 1000 -i 5000 <host>" from the command line to see if
fping was switching IPs, and it does not seem to be, even when Hobbit shows red,
the fping from the command line still his the new/current
IP.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
