If I missed some other part of the discussion, I apologize. Couldn't this just be handled by the code that analyzes the fping results?
For hosts that need to respond in a certain amount of time, maybe add a number to the conn test indicator:
1.1.1.1 myhost # conn:3
Without the above specification everything would work as before, but with it if a ping to myhost goes more than 3 seconds generate a red condition.

I just need to come up with a good way of configuring it, and design
the status-override mechanism to work sanely with history logs and
such (you don't want the RRD override to show up in the history logs
in a way so the status flip-flops between green from the network
tester and red from the RRD override).
