3 T1s one router

Hi,

It seems I would second this with reservation:

1. Link status does not necessarily mean ip routability.
2. Are there static IP Addresses in the routes directly above the routers?
3. If 3 what I would do:

	a. Setup each IP as a separate host in a single hostgroup.
	b. Setup each IP above the IPs in question as separate hosts in that same 
hostgroup.
	c. Make the above IP addresses parents, if you are monitoring from outside 
the network, and slaves if you are monitoring from within the network. That 
way you only get paged for one thing if a segment is unavailable.

This example assumes you are monitoring from behind the router (inside). I 
would (and do on a few) use the same methodology to monitor from a remote 
location.
