[Xymon] Run Single Test

[John Tullis]

Cool! So my hosts file would look something like this?
 
0.0.0.0         domain1.com # NOCONN dnsreg:10
0.0.0.0         domain2.com # NOCONN dnsreg:11
0.0.0.0         domain3.com # NOCONN dnsreg:12
0.0.0.0         domain4.com # NOCONN dnsreg:16
0.0.0.0         domain5.com # NOCONN dnsreg:20

It wouldn't be hard to make your 'tag' be of the form:
   "dnsreg:[hour]"

You could then bbhostgrep for the tag, and only query those hosts whose tagged hour aligns with the current hour. You could then schedule your job to run every hour and control the query rate by editing the bb-hosts file.
