Good point, for this I wanted to introduce a per-server "start-down" option which I never implemented. It should be easy, a server which has this option set is considered down before the first check. It also means that doing this on all servers means that reloads are a bit... sportive : you expect to have your checks report all valid servers up as soon as possible. > Will this feature be avail in 1.4 too? I have absolutely no idea. Sometimes features not planned for 1.4 finally end up there because they're easy to backport and make admin lifes easier. Regards, Willy
