Greg, I try to understand router tag, but it is not clear to me from
documentation:
Man page:
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/manpages/man5/bb-hosts.5.html
or Wikibook:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Hobbit/Administration_Guide

I have now monitoring the 'gateway' (conn), but how I notice hobbit and
other servers checks that 'gateway' is the first router?

Can you please paste here a example configuration?

Thank you
Rodolfo Pilas
