Is your test really dependent on the processes running in parallel (say,
because you want to test concurrency), or do you just want to cover
multiple scenarios (hosts) in one shot ?

If it's the second, I believe you shouldn't lump them into a single test
but instead have one test instance per host and just tell qmtest to
run these tests in parallel for efficiency.

there's an sql result stream as well as an one using xml. That may provide
all you want.
