The probe defined right under the "*** Targets ***" clause is treated as
the default probe for all hosts if you don't specify one. Explicitly
specifying a probe for a host/host group is basically just an override.
The same logic is applied to pretty much everything in SmokePing's
config file, by the way: any time you go from a one configuration
directive to a 'child' one (e.g. +option to ++suboption), the child
inherits all of the options of the parent unless you override them, and
the child's children inherit the overridden settings unless you override
them again.

(Sorry for the dupe email, Eric, just resending for the benefit of the
list -- my original reply got queued for approval due to message size,
and I figured it was easier to cancel it and just truncate the reply.)

Looks pretty logical, thanks. Would I have to define a probe for
**every** hostgroup if I did this, or could I leave the SIP_Cust
hostgroup (and other hostgroups, like TestCustomers, Employees, etc)
alone and as they are now?
