I wanted to find out more about it. I foound that it has been giving this message since NOV 9. And so I found out that the first address chimer.unt.edu is not returning any pong, but the others are. So could it be that because chimer.unt.edu is in the first in the sequence that is why its not checking the others. I dont know what going on or could it be that cron was set wrong to jump to the next one if one server is down. I tried to find where it is configured. The rc.local file only tells cron_enable="yes". So can tell me where it is in FreeBsd 2.2.5 and can you tell me what to do please. I would really appreciate.
