What if you set up two bogus addresses (host A and host B) with Host B
dependent on Host A.  Hobbit should show two failed tests, but Host B
will be yellow and Host A will be red.

That did not help. I think fping has to find it not reachable.

changing the IP of hosts won't do the test with route tag (or depend tag for that matter). In other words if I have real setup like this, considering they are real IPs

1.2.3.4 hostA # testip route:routerB
1.2.3.5 routerB # testip

There is no way I can just change the IPs to some fake IPs to do the yellow test.

Anyone know of a trick?

Thanks
