Some configuration questions

["Hubbard, Greg L" <greg.hubbard (at) eds.com>]

Hobbits:

Some general questions, based on 4.1...

A) Do you know if the keywords in bb-hosts are case sensitive?  I
noticed that the documentation is very careful to match case in examples
as well as the definitions -- but some keywords are in ALL CAPS and
others are lower case.  One wonders why this is so...unless they are
case-insensitive, and it is just a curiosity in Hobbit-lore...

B) Regarding the "route" keyword?  Can these be chained, or does the
whole path have to be specified for each item in the file?

Example:  hobbit server -- firewall -- router a -- router b -- host --
app

Can it be coded this way?

Firewall 	no route statement
Router A	route:firewall
Router B	route:router A
Host		route:router B

Or do I have to say this:

Router B	route:firewall,router A
Host		route:firewall,router A,router B

C) I have some custom tests that are run by the client on "Host" --
these messages (which go purple) don't seem to get suppressed if a node
is unreachable because of something else.  Is there some way to code
this to take advantage of the downstream suppression?

BTW -- Henrik -- I have seen the downstream suppression stuff work --
awesome!  It is a lot more difficult to achieve this in my commercial
tools.
