[smokeping-users] Ping size per host

You should be able to override (most) probe settings at the individual
target level.   The 'probe' setting in your Targets section dynamically
changes the allowed grammar (i.e. using the FPing probe will allow you
to use different options at the host level compared to, say, the Curl
probe).

The SmokePing documentation
(http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/smokeping_config.en.html) gives
full details about the dynamic grammar stuff, but to make a long story
short, you should be able to specify "packetsize = $somevalue" at some
level in your target tree (and it will propagate down the tree, if
applicable).
