I might be able to help debug the problem myself if I knew how xymon
determines the alert levels for each test so that it can set icons
appropriately on the summary pages.

The test does seem to be occurring since the conn page shows green.
But this is not being reflected on the parent page; where a purple
icon is displayed.

The DNS configuration may be causing issues:

I don't understand what the PTR record for 130.11.9.96 has to do with
the A
or CNAME resolving to 130.11.9.89
Hoped to be able to address this with hosts.cfg entry:
130.11.9.89 natwebvaii01.er.usgs.gov #
CLIENT:igsaaahigsvaii1.er.usgs.gov
If you want to use the IP address you've specified, you either need to
tag
the line with "testip" or run xymonnet with the appropriate option to
disregard DNS resolution.
I don't think
0.0.0.0 foo.bar.com #
behaves any differently than
1.2.3.4 foo.bar.com #
until the tag "testip" is appended
1.2.3.4 foo.bar.com # testip
