It still gets queued because there might be backups that need to expire.

You are right - the disable check happens after the host alive check.
It was done that way to handle the dhcp = 1 case (where you don't know
which host it is until you run nmblookup).

But in the normal case that check should be done earlier.  I'll add
that to the todo list.
