[hobbit] Server up, network down.

[Ralph Mitchell]

If you just want to make it stop showing red, you could go to the
enable/disable entry in the Administration menu and disable the server
"until OK".  It'll show blue instead of red, and that doesn't propagate
upwards.

If you really want to keep reflecting the server's status, you'll need some
other method to deliver reports.  For example, if it's a private cable
that's down, and if both ends have Internet access, you could set up a ssh
tunnel (which I haven't tried), or deliver reports by email (which works
fairly well), or something like that.
