I have been thinking about making this configurable, so you could do

   http=App1;http://myserver/App1 http=App2;http://myserver/App2

and have "App1" and "App2" appears as separate columns.


Haven't done any code yet, though, since this would happen "automagically"
with the new network tester I have underway for Xymon 5.0. So putting it
into 4.x would be somewhat of a wasted effort.

But I have the same issue myself, so perhaps I should look at how much
effort it would take.
