The problem with that is, it will perform the PORT test on all of the
machines under the HOST= section the test is under.  I don't want
this, as only one of the machines actually has the ports running.  I
haven't had a problem using HOST= in this manner before, and it's
described in the "rules to select hosts" section in the manpage for
hobbit-clients.cfg

I was wondering that myself.  I'll try changing to TRACK= to be
character-based and see if that helps.
