I think this may have been v3.2, I'm just looking through my log files
and here is the error line:

INFO: dispatcher [dispatch.c:2031]: Ignoring the request to set this
destination to probing: It is already inactive!

If I recall correctly, I first tried to do:

ds_mark_dst("ip");

in routeing script, but that did not work, it set state to IX and not IP.

Then I tried:

ds_mark_dst("i");
ds_mark_dst("p");

Thats when I got the following message:

INFO: dispatcher [dispatch.c:2031]: Ignoring the request to set this
destination to probing: It is already inactive!

I can see, from the docs, that if I just do ds_mark_dst(), then that
will set state to IX (Inactive), however, as described above, I cannot
set state to Inactive-Probing, from routing script using ds_mark_dst("ip").

Thanks
