Is there a work around?  I  just want to get ssh on interface and
ping on
the other interface tested but keep the results under same hostname.
Let Hobbit do the ping test.  Write a script to connect to the other
port via ssh and send a green/red report to Hobbit.
I have a script that I through together to do this. It is single
threaded tho.
No real documentation on it, but if you want it.. I could throw
something
together and forward it to ya. Basically the script uses nc to do a port
check.

I still think there is a simpler way to do this. I think I saw somethink
like this in the past.

1.2.3.4 host.net # testip ssh
0.0.0.0 host.net #


I think that would be:

1.2.3.4 host.net # conn testip
0.0.0.0 host.net # noconn ssh

This would make the ping test ping 1.2.3.4, and the ssh test would be the
DNS ip of host.net.  I don't think Hobbit "likes" when you do that though,
I know if you have duplicate hostnames it makes hobbitest turn yellow and
fuss at you :)
Hmm.. why so? Is there a patch may be to fix that behavior?!
