I don't know if the hobbit client itself can do that, but I think it
would be easy enough to write a custom test script to be run at Client-B
and report the status of Client-B/ProdServer connectivity to the real
hobbit server via the old STATUS message functionality.

Subject: [hobbit] Ping question
Hi,
I have 1 hobbit server that successfully monitors all of my servers.
(with all of the problems everyone mails about, just had to say that
up front heh)
But yes, I do have a question :-)
Hobbit server A monitors client B. Client B has a a private connection
to a network that nobody else can be on except for it. Client B talks
to some production server over that network. Today, that production
server went down. Now I have been asked to do the following:
I need to be able to ping monitor the production server. I can ping
the production server from Client B. Hobbit server A can ping client
B, but not the prod. server (as only client B has that ability)
So in other words "Hobbit - I want you to ping prod server through
client B" - the other way would be "Client B - I want you to ping
prod. server and report the status to Hobbit"
Help! :-)
Thanks,
Jeff
