Do you have the capability to use fping?  I'd try that and see what
the results are.
I had an issue with fping back in the day.   Before I spend too much
time figuring out how to switch, I'd like to know what would cause
the "test results sent" time to skyrocket.
Nothing?

In my experience it is usually due to either a network issue between
the network-test server and the main Hobbit server, or a very high
That'd be loopback... so unlikely to be a network issue.
load on the main Hobbit server causing it to take very long to accept
incoming connections. Try correlating the time of your problem with
the load on the Hobbit server (e.g. look at the "vmstat" graphs from
that time).

Hrm, I don't seem to be graphing vmstat.  However, looking at all of  
the graphs under trends for this host, they all look relatively flat  
_except_ bbtest runtime which cliffs from ~70ms to over 150ms.
