I thought of unknowns right after I sent the patch. We don't really use
them in our deployment, so I wasn't thinking about them during
implementation. It's easy enough to add.

I was going to question the usefulness of this, but they can be both
"down" and "unreachable." I'll get an updated patch up sometime next week.

I'd like some feedback on how I modified the CGIs to display the new
variables. I was hesitant to add a bunch more columns to that table,
considering it's already pretty large, so I just put all 4 of the new
thresholds in the same table entry (all, warn, crit, unknown). Putting
all of the thresholds in the same column is unclear without reading the
source. I can add new table columns if that's the "proper" thing to
do. Or if somebody has a solution I'm not thinking of I'd love for the
config output to be very clear.
