You are absolutely correct in what I was trying to accomplish.  I have 
followed your suggestion, and it is working perfectly.

I only have two questions below.

Why is it necessary to actually break it into two different network tests, 
instead of just putting noconn on the first, and conn=worset,etc. on the 
second?  Why do they need to be in two different NET definitions?  (I 
tried it without the separate NET definitions, and while it seemed to work 
for most of the hosts, a few of them still had the same problem.  So 
obviously splitting it up into the two tests was significant.)

Is it the lack of the --report in the Net10 that makes it not recognize 
the multiple hostnames?  (I find it strange that it did work somewhat, 
when I didn't split into the multiple networks.  But, since your method 
worked completely, I'm not going to caught up on my mixed results.)

And second, now that I have it nice and green as it should be, and both 
sets of ip addresses are being tested correctly, is there any way to 
combine the results onto a single line?  Right now, I get a separate 
duplicate line, because of the second ip address (though all the tests 
show on both lines).

Again, thank you so much!  I have read through an insane amount of 
documentation and mailing list archives over the last 2 weeks, and could 
not find what you just showed me.  Your help is much appreciated!
