[hobbit] Hobbit CONN questions

[Josh Luthman]

Concerning fping options, I have some RRD graphs that show enormous pings to
some of our customer's (upwards of 800ms) because as the radio doesn't pass
any traffic it sits there and when someone first looks for it, it acts kind
of dumb.

What delegates how often the FPING command is issued?  I'm not looking for
the arguments for fping itself, but rather how hobbitd kicks fping into
gear.

I would like to increase the rate of the pings and see if that helps.  I'm
running a continuous ping over night to see if that changes the graph or if
it really does spike to that outrageous height.
