Excellent, that will do it.

Look up "badhttp" in the bb-hosts man pages.

    Hello list,

    I've gotten a pair of hobbit servers set up, one in each data
    center, in
    a specific lan.

    I'm noticing that, due to the many transient network glitches in wan
    connectivity, that the hobbit history shows a lot of
    red/green/red/green. This appears to be different behavior from bb,
    which gives us some knobs to turn, mitigating the effects of the
    transient glitches and preventing the alternating red/green
    connectivity
    status. (We've got people watching bbdisplay pages, who panic when
    they
    see red.)

    If a bb-net test fails, bb waits "n" seconds and tries again, and
    if it
    still fails, it waits "m" seconds and tries a third time, and if that
    fails as well, the connectivity goes red. The delays between try 1
    and
    try 2, and the delay between try 2 and try 3, are configurable in bb,
    but I don't see any such option in hobbit, nor is it obvious whether
    there is more than 1 attempt made to perform a network test.

    Can anyone confirm or deny that this is the case, and if not, point me
    to the correct configuration option?

    Thanks & Regards,

    Joe
