Kev,
you might want to download Ethereal, http://www.ethereal.com/, and monitor
the ICMP traffic between the hobbit server and the remote host. You can
filter on local and remote IP addresses to detect the differences between
the server automated ping, versus, a manual ping from the server.

*Subject:* [hobbit] Pinging Question
Hello,
I work for an organization that has about 100 firewalls
deployed. We currently use hobbit to ping all the interfaces to see if they
are up. Out of about 500 interfaces we are pinging there are about 10 that
will show up as being down on the hobbit web pages but when you ping from
the hobbit server manually you get a response that they are up. Any ideas
as to why they would show up as down on the web pages but you get responses
from manual pings. Is there somethign different about the pings used for
the webpages?
