This configuration works for me.  I have two hosts that I cannot ping, nor
do I have any other tests.  My hosts.cfg entries look like:

203.52.0.222    dns1.example.com           # testip delayred=dns:15
delayyellow=dns:10 dns=SOA:zone.example.com,A:host1.zone.example.com,A:
host2.zone.example.com,SOA:au noping
203.52.1.221    dns2.example.com           # testip delayred=dns:15
delayyellow=dns:10 dns=SOA:zone.example.com,A:host1.zone.example.com,A:
host2.zone.example.com,SOA:au noping

I wonder if it's the "testip" that I have here.  I generally have "testip"
on servers I test.  If there's a transient DNS problem, I only want my DNS
server to show a fault in Xymon.
