fping options for speed 🔗 link

I understand most people run fping rather than hobbitping due to the
issues with hobbitping not accurately reporting the roundtrip times...
but running fping on 4100+ hosts can take up to 120 seconds in my
environment, it seems.

Has anyone used any specific options on their FPING configuration
setting to optimize fping performance for this purpose?
Thanks for any suggestions.

For the record, I have found the following setting in hobbitserver.cfg
works well for me:
FPING="/usr/sbin/fping -i10 -t1500 -r2"

You might also be able to do something with BBLOCATION in
server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg.  That allows you to specify which Xymon server
will do the pinging.  You'd need to have a couple of secondary Xymon servers
spread out around your network, but they wouldn't need to be big systems as
they'd just be doing the network tests and reporting to the central Xymon
server.
