RE: [SA-list] Servers Alive Flakey?

Servers Alive Flakey? I've found that sometimes it gives me a false down, but usually its because I've set the check criteria too tight, or not taken network latency into consideration. Every time I setup a new check, I have it email me ONLY, until I get the criteria set correctly to do what
