I'll guess a little. I hope be be sure in a few days, as that's why I
modified check_ping.
But my guess is
serv1 would have interfaces like
'196.168.1.1,10.0.1.1'
serv1-a and serv1-b would be child hosts to serv1
They would have interfaces like
196.168.1.1 (for serv1-a)
10.0.1.1 (for serv1-b)
That's what I'm planning on trying, at least.
