that's great, thanks!
For our production systems, I had already patched FPing.pm but since 
"tos" was a probe-specific variable, I basically created many FPing 
probes like:

+FPing
binary = /usr/local/sbin/fping
blazemode = true
pings = 10

++FPingNorm

++ FPingGold
tos = 0x30

++ FPingSilver
tos = 0x60

Is there no way to make "tos" a target-specific variable? (although, I 
guess you'd lose in parallelization and speed)

Cheers,
dez
