So, you need to know when HostA can't ping HostB? Is this because it is a
cluster or something?
I would suggest a simple vbscript on HostA and HostB that pings the other
and puts the results (green or red) in a file. Then just pass that to BBWin
or use bbsend.exe as an alternative to Hobbit. You could call the new status
column something like 'cluster' or 'interconnect' ... whatever.
I don't think that route or anything will work for this, as these are not
routers are they?

Michael,
What exactly are you after? If the problem is that HostA cannot ping
HostB all the time then this points to a networking issue: Firewall?
Dodgy network cable? Too much traffic and too short a time-out?
If your Hobbit server can ping both hosts then it's doing its job and
there are no problems, with Hobbit at least...

Subject: [hobbit] Secondary ping?
Heres the problem my hobbit server can ping HostA and HostB but SOMETIMES
HostA and HostB
cannot ping each other . Besides a client side script, anyone think of a
way to do this and take advantage of
hobbit functionality. BBNET? route ? something else?
