Ive unix and linux system but script is a script.
Is this because it is a cluster or something?
No I think it because the network team makes changes but tell no one AND
the attitude "well it works for Windoze boxes" .
But it may and I believe can be due too other network problems, like
too much traffic.
Probable what I'll is a script . Now ,I don't think that a route
actually need to be network hardware; at least I've routed though
servers before in one card out another.
I was thinking of something like hobbit server
xxx.xxx.xxx Hostb # route:router1,Hosta route2,router3
Or setting up a bbnet on Hosta
Or as you say a script.
Looking to see If others have handed this problem through hobbit before
I did something or if some would say ; "Yes use route or bbnet would be
better choice or something else ."!

I would suggest a simple vbscript on HostA and HostB that pings the
other and puts the results (green or red) in a file. Then just pass
that to BBWin or use bbsend.exe as an alternative to Hobbit. You could
call the new status column something like 'cluster' or 'interconnect'
... whatever.
I don't think that route or anything will work for this, as these are
not routers are they?

Michael,
What exactly are you after? If the problem is that HostA
cannot ping
HostB all the time then this points to a networking issue:
Firewall?
Dodgy network cable? Too much traffic and too short a
time-out?
If your Hobbit server can ping both hosts then it's doing
its job and
there are no problems, with Hobbit at least...

Subject: [hobbit] Secondary ping?
Heres the problem my hobbit server can ping HostA and
HostB but SOMETIMES HostA and HostB
cannot ping each other . Besides a client side script,
anyone think of a way to do this and take advantage of
hobbit functionality. BBNET? route ? something else?
