Thanks.  That worked.  I now see the active/passive pair where the passive is 
not a direct response to the active.  I assume the timing difference is the 
skew in the polling clocks.

That "only if reachable" is important.  That takes another polling interval.  
Or something like that.  I got confused by not seeing it but while 
investigating it appeared.
