same host multiple time in bb-hosts.

I seemed to have resolved this problem.

I removed the noconn from the first entry and now the "conn" seems to be
working ok and I am not getting any duplicate entries in bbtest.

Subject: [hobbit] same host multiple time in bb-hosts.

I a trying to put the same host name in several locations in my bb-hosts
file. I went to the archives and found the following:

	Put all of your host definitions on one host entry, and let the
others
	just be with "noconn".

	1.2.3.4 host1 # noconn ssh http smtp name:emailRelay
	0.0.0.0 host1 # noconn

	Oh, and the "http" stuff really should be a full URL.


	Regards,
	Henrik

I have the following:

     128.110.103.183 mailrelay.math.purdue.edu     # noconn prefer \
                ssh smtp \

TRENDS:vmstat:vmstat2|vmstat3|vmstat6|vmstat7|vmstat8|vmstat9|vmstat0,\
     netstat:netstat0|netstat1|netstat2|netstat3,\
     !clock,!bbgen,!bbtest,!hobbitd,!temperature,!who,!uptime,!timediff

And in another location I have

	000.000.000.000 mailrelay.math.purdue.edu     # noconn

With noconn in both entries all things are green but the "conn" column is
not updated.

If I remove noconn from the first entry then bbtest goes yellow with
duplicate entries.

Is there a way to have my cake and eat it to? How can I get a "conn" test
and still have multiple host entries. What am I missing here.

Thanks

Robert
