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 <http://1.2.3.4>; host.net <http://host.net>; # testip ssh
0.0.0.0 <http://0.0.0.0>; host.net <http://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 :)
