Hi Henrik,

One other followup question.  Just to make sure I'm completely clear here, 
if I have some 10.x.x.x IP machines that aren't multi-homed, I should 
assign them to NET:Ext so taht they are properly tested?  I tried omitting 
the NET: tag for them, but they didn't seem to get the conn test ran (and 
obviously, I wouldn't want to label them NET:Net10, because that also 
will prevent the tests from being ran).

So, I guess for me, Ext is a bit of a misnomer, since it's not just for 
the External IP addresses, but it's also required for any internal 
machines that don't have an external address, that I still want to test?

Thanks again,
-Michael
