[hobbit] All network tests now purple

[Rich Smrcina]

I commented out the three hosts and restarted Hobbit.  Still no network 
tests.  The debug log appears to stop in the same place.

I tried to run a couple of them manually using:

~/server/bin/bbcmd bbtest-net --debug people3

This host is good and the network tests for that host come out OK and 
appear on the web page.  So it appears that the process works (at least 
a host at a time).

When I run the command with one of the hosts that could not be found, I 
get this (a small subset of the actual messages produced, but they seem 
relevant):

2006-10-27 11:48:02 Opening file /home/hobbit/server/etc/bb-hosts
2006-10-27 11:48:02 Adding hostname 'tmpl' to resolver queue
2006-10-27 11:48:02 Processing 1 DNS lookups with ARES
2006-10-27 11:48:02 DNS lookup failed for tmpl - status Domain name not 
found (4)
2006-10-27 11:48:02 About to do 0 TCP tests running 246 in parallel
2006-10-27 11:48:02 TCP tests completed normally
2006-10-27 11:48:20 Sending results for service conn
2006-10-27 11:48:20 Adding to combo msg: status tmpl.conn clear <!-- 
[flags:orDAstLe] --> Fri Oct 27 11:48:02 2006 conn ok : Disabled (dialup 
host)
2006-10-27 11:48:20 Flushing combo message
       status tmpl.conn clear <!-- [flags:orDAstLe] --> Fri Oct 27 
11:48:02 2006 conn ok : Disabled (dialup host)

There's an 18 second pause after it indicates that it couldn't find the 
host and after the tests have completed.  It does send the correct 
status, it is a dialup host that could not be contacted and send a clear.
