[hobbit] conn test fails / comes back

[Stephane Caminade]

Ok, that was the source of my problem.
I had tried to set up unsuccessfuly a secondary hobbit server, and had 
given it the same configuration file as my original one.
But, and there I hadn t been careful, I hadn t given the secondary 
server the same network rights as the original one, and therefore it 
reported that all hosts were down.

Thanks for the "thought" !
