Hmm. "noconn" + "testip" should actually be all that's needed here,
Well, I must apologize to everyone for the noise.

It is now behaving exactly as you indicate. I must assume my previous tests with these tags were somehow invalid. Maybe I wasn't editing the right file. Maybe I was misspelling 'testip'.

I am able to get adequate behavior by inserting a .default. line containing 'testip noconn' above my collection of fake names.

xymonnet must be building its table of host name/address pairs before it looks to see if there are any tests to be run. This isn't terribly efficient, but obviously not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
