[WBEL-users] Still killing me softly with mon

Jesse,

Thanks for the help.  I definitely needed to add those lines to my
config.  Unfortunately, mon still doesn't recognize anything it is
watching to be up.  It's as though it doesn't receive the replies, which
is why I thought it had to do with my iptables or my firewall.  Anymore
thoughts would be appreciated.


Below is another excerpt from my logs:
