How long did you wait between the reboot and restarting Xymon?

Using Xymon 4.3.7 I have noticed that if I reboot the Xymon
server then the 'conn' test fails for all the clients. E.g.:
============================
Thu Jul 12 10:24:11 2012 conn NOT ok
Service conn on dns1 is not OK : Host does not respond to ping
System unreachable for 5 poll periods (984 seconds)
============================
If, from the server, I run 'ping' to the client then that
works fine. So does fping. If I stop then start the Xymon
service on the server then the client conn tests all report
ok.
Hello,
I have waited various amounts of time, from as soon as I could log in
(about a minute or two since rebooting), up to about an hour.
I should have added that after a reboot, and when the conn tests are
red, then they stay red! Yet the clients are all up and running, and are
pingable. At what time I restart Xymon seems to make no difference, once
it is done then the tests start to turn green.
I can only assume that there is some initial condition which causes the
ping to fail, but that it remains in force until Xymon is restarted.
Very odd. I will investigate, but am a little lost as to why, say after
5, 10, 60 (!) mins, the tests do not automatically turn green.
I added 'trace' to one client in hosts,cfg, and it shows the traceroute
working fine but the test is still red and saying the ping failed.
