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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

and I figured it was easier to cancel it and just truncate the reply.)<br>

pretty logical, thanks. Would I have to define a probe for *<b>every</b>*
