[Running 4.2.3 on solaris with a lot of linux clients]
We have a heavily (some would say 'insanely') firewalled environment. For
some clients, I need to be able to test ssh on the private ip address, but
even though I have the private ip in the bb-hosts file and have specified
testip, the ssh test insists on testing the public address (which it is
getting from DNS, apparently) and fails because the firewall doesn't allow
ssh connections on that interface.
"testip" *will* force Xymon to use the IP in bb-hosts as the destination
IP, *unless* you have the host listed twice in bb-hosts with conflicting
options and/or IP-adresses. This would be logged in the bb-network.log
file, and in the "bbtest" status message.
