Whops, forgot to post this back to the list. Also some corrections to  
what I sent initally. Sorry :P

Yeah, I noticed that. That discussion would seem to imply however  
that delayed packets ARE acknowledged by fping, even if the RTA is  
very high, and that the timeout parameter only applies to how long it  
waits after sending the last packet. The other thing that I noticed  
in that discussion was that it referenced smokeping 2.0.5, which  
apparently doesn't have a timeout option. As I have also tried fping  
directly from the command line with the same results, however, this  
is not an issue in my situation.

I have set the timeout parameter in smokeping with the timeout=2.0  
parameter, as follows:

+ FPing

binary = /usr/local/sbin/fping
timeout = 2.0

I have also tried directly from the command line by giving it the -t  
2000 parameter but this doesn't appear to work any better.
