[hobbit] Ping question

[Kern, Thomas]

I don't know if the hobbit client itself can do that, but I think it
would be easy enough to write a custom test script to be run at Client-B
and report the status of Client-B/ProdServer connectivity to the real
hobbit server via the old STATUS message functionality.
