It works! :-)

hosts.cfg on "host 1":

172.30.1.10      server2.my.dom              # noconn

hosts.cfg on "host 2":

172.30.1.10      server2.my.dom              #

"server2.my.dom" is the "host 3".

The problem was in the following. xymonserver.cfg contains

# General settings
XYMONDPORT="1984"               # Portnumber where xymond listens
XYMSRV="0.0.0.0"                # IP of a single Xymon server
XYMSERVERS="$XYMONSERVERIP"     # IP of multiple Xymon servers. If used, XYMSRV must be 0.0.0.0

I attempted to configure Xymon on "host 2" via XYMSERVERS variable
and it did not work. The "ping test" data begin transmitted to the
"host 1" when I used the variable XYMSRV as point to "host 1".
This is probably a bug Xymon or xymon's rpm package...
