Possible I did not wrote correctly in  English... I will draw it. 

host 1 (Xymon server / web)
   |
   |
host 2 (Xymon server 2 or Xymon client ?)
   |
   |
host 3 

"host 3" is not avaliable from "host 1". "host 2" should make ping test
and send result to "host 1".

I.e. "host 2" should contains Xymon server installation because the
"ping test" is not of the OS parameter. Yes ?

"ping test" for "host 3" will be unsuccessful from main Xymon server
(host 1). :-(
