You can certain attach more than one monitor-threshold via the
monitor-thresholds tag, which is why it's plural :) monitor-thresholds is
a comma delimited list of monitor-strings, which can be of 3 types as
listed in reference.txt. You should take a closer look at the relation
monitor, which is unfortunately broken in the current version of cricket
due to the namespace changes... it should be working in 0.70, since i got
a copy of a tree that tests monitor-thresholds to jeff allen after
noticing that it was broken in 0.69 :)
I'm not sure if trap-address can contain multiple addresses, or if it's
trivial to add such support, but i'll look into it this weekend.
The monitor-thresholds system is designed to be flexible and easy to add
onto. Over time i hope that many more types of monitoring will be
contributed to the code.
