Oh, I misunderstood your problem, I thought you just meant that servers
were being reported as down intermittantly when they were really up.

Run your mon tests by hand. They're all in the mon.d directory. Just
supply a list of hosts as the argument. See what errors you get. These
errors should really be reporting in the ALERT emails too, but running
them by hand may make them clearer.

iptables rules, or a variety of other things can interfere with network
connectivity/probing.
