[smokeping-users] Multiple probe configuration not working correctly.

[Kelly Shutt]

OK, so I can't figure out what's up with this.  Initially I had
smokeping working fine with just FPing setup; and then later added DNS
(dig) queries to the configuration.  Now the FPing queries aren't
working.  The config looks fine as far as I can tell and the CGI script
displays the menu items for both FPing and DNS; but only the DNS screens
are populating data, everything on the FPing screens shows NULL values. 
I've checked the processes in the server; and I see childs running for
both DNS and FPing.  Anyone have any ideas?  Am I just missing something
in the configuration maybe?
