Comment 25 for bug 1761813

Service checking as you describe is a known wishlist enhacement, but I'll
be happy to receive contributions if you have the cycles.

That said, just to be clear, it took a couple hours to figure out this
issue *based* on the assumption that your environment was correct. If we
would have known more about your environment beforehand (before we actually
had access to it), it would have been much easier to identify the issue.
