bb-hosts man page says:

conn
The "conn" test (which does a ping of the host) is enabled for all hosts by
default, and normally you just want to disable it using "noconn" or
"noping". However, on the rare occasion where you may want to check that a
host is NOT up, you can specify it as an explicit test, and use the normal
test modifiers, e.g. "!conn" will be green when the host is NOT up, and red
if it does appear on the network.
