How do you override testip for a single host? Looking at the code
there's a flag for xymonnet called "dodns" that's not documented in
hosts.cfg man page. It feels to me like the xymonnet code should be
slightly altered to allow you to specify "dodns" on a per-host basis to
override a "testip" setting that may be default.

Where are you specifying 'testip'?

Are you explicitly launching xymonnet with "--dns-ip" ?

    Do things because you should, not just because you can.

0.0.0.0        .default.       # NET:home route:gw.feld.me testip

I'd like to be able to do a "dodns" on hosts that I don't want testip.
It would be preferable to encapsulating them in "0.0.0.0 .default."
statements to turn it on and off.
