Well, the curl library reports a "could not connect" error. So it
couldn't establish a tcp connection to fred.something.com port 80.

Note that "testip" is ignored for HTTP tests, they will always 
do a hostname lookup based on the URL that is tested. If you
really must have the test go to a specific IP-address, you must
write it like this:

1.1.1.1  fred.wilma.flintstone  # http://fred.something.com=1.1.1.1/
