[hobbit] depends & conn test

[Daniel Bourque]

Thanks for the reply ,

    Unfortunately for me, it appears that "route" only affects ping ( 
"conn" ) tests. So, I can't use route for the ssh checks, and I can't 
make the ssh test depend on another host's conn test.  I could setup a 
yahoo www test, and try to use that as a dependency, hopefully that works.

thanks
