Sujet: netselect enhancement proposal and implementation  En-tête complet  
Tous les attachements  
Hello, 

when netselect probe hosts, it doesn't show unreachable hosts on its output: 

ex: 
./netselect  www.no-ip.com www.yahoo.fr 
  99 www.yahoo.fr 

where www.no-ip.com is unreachable for netselect checkings, but is alive and 
is a valid host. 

I've added the "-u" arg to netselect to show this kind of hosts: 

ex: 
./netselect -u www.no-ip.com www.yahoo.fr 
 103 www.yahoo.fr 
999999999 www.no-ip.com 

Now "unreachable" hosts are displayed with a 999999999 score if using -u. 
It may be usefull here on Source Mage GNU/Linux, since we use netselect to 
short servers (like your example with debian servers) and I need to try on 
last resort these pseudo unreachable hosts. 

This patch is experimental, and works fine here. 

I've enclosed modified files, base on your netselect 0.3 release. 

Would you mind looking at these changes, and maybe integrate it in netselect 
? 
I think it makes it better  and it may be usefull for many other people. 

Bye, 
Mat.
