The default IP address for testing connection is the internic IP. You can
change this to any IP you want (an IP number is recommended; putting a dns
name might not work if your dns is not configured correctly, even if your
connection itself works).
The test is only a ping, performed by a script called pingtest.sh, which uses
pingtest.conf (containing the host defined in the web interface).
