I don't believe it's only for network tests; should work for all tests.

This all looks OK to me.  It says to me that you want the server to be in
"downtime" state from Friday 11pm to Sunday midday.  What day/time are you
getting alerts?

Just a hint, you can specify multiple tests in one DOWNTIME specification.
So for example:

DOWNTIME=ACL1,ACL2:5:2300:2359:check_op_con,...

I doubt this would help though, but might shorten your config a bit.
Interestingly, an example in the Changes file uses a semicolon instead of a
comma to separate the different DOWNTIME specifications, so perhaps see if
that helps.

Have you looked at the "info" page for the server?  It should show what
Xymon thinks are the down-times for that server.  Can you confirm that this
page matches your expectations?
