Hi Henrik,

But even if I wanted to split up the tests, why does the following not 
work?:

10.0.0.1        myrradel.com    # noconn testip BBDISPLAY BBPAGER BBNET pop3
216.218.224.14  myrradel.com    # conn=worst,10.0.0.1 http://www.myrradel.com dig smtp

I guess what I'm not understanding is what made it necessary to make a 
leap to splitting it up into multiple network-test definitions.

If I'm understanding you correctly, is it that aside from the conn test, 
when I place it on multiple lines like above, the tests for both lines 
are really going to use the same ip address?

Maybe it was just coincidence, but I thought that when I had it like 
above, the proper tests were being called on the proper ip addresses.  
But, I may have just thought they were, and missed what was really 
happening.

Perfect!

Thanks again!
