[hobbit] purple status for one server and hobbitfetch?

We didn't have a "true" two server setup.
There was the main server and then this test one.

On the main server the test server was setup as a client but had server
software on it.
The main server picked up that the test server had server software on
it.

Since then the server software on the test server was removed and client
software installed.

I checked the BBDISP and that is set right.  It points to the main
server.

This test should be just the ping test.
I can ping the client just fine from the hobbit server and if the ping
fails we do get red alerts.
I found that out when a network port got changed on accident to a
different vlan.
So the ping is working it just isn't reporting the correct result.
