{bb} Test order parameter



Hi,

 

I noticed that BB orders the connectivity test (using fping.sh) based on the lowest IP address.

 

For example,

 

192.168.2.1       server2

192.168.1.1              server1

   

 

for the above bb-hosts file entry, server1 will be tested first before server2.

 

Does BB or fping has any parameter to make sure that BB or fping tests the host with the highest priority? If the priority numbers are equal, then proceed with the lowest IP address.

 

Say for example, the default priority is 1.

 

192.168.2.1       server2              # fping-priority:2

192.168.1.2              server1  

   

so, server2 will be tested first before server1.

 

The reason why I ask this is because I wanted to use the “route” directive of fping but I want to make sure that the gateway will be tested first before the hosts without using classes.
