bbproxy with multiple targets in beta package patches

[Buchan Milne <bgmilne (at) staff.telkomsa.net>]

I was running a Hobbit server on the beta package with the allinone patch July 
04 2006. However, we now want the hosts being monitored by this ("old") 
Hobbit server accessible from our other ("new") Hobbit server (running 
4.1.2p1). We can tolerate differences in log file/port/proc features for a 
while until we upgrade the "new" server.

So, as when migrating from BB to Hobbit, I set hobbitd to listed on port 1985 
on the "old" server, set up bbproxy to forward to localhost:1985 and 
the "new" Hobbit server, and transferred the relevant data.

However, now the "old" server is not getting data from clients, but the "new" 
one is, eg cpu, disk, files, memory, msgs, ports, procs are purple on 
the "old" server but green on the "new" sever (and collecting in the RRDs).

The bbproxy section on the "old" server has:

[bbproxy]
        #DISABLED
        ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        CMD 
$BBHOME/bin/bbproxy --hobbitd --bbdisplay=127.0.0.1:1985,10.10.9.32:1984 --report=$MACHINE.bbproxy --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxy.pid
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxy.log


Any ideas, or is this a potential, or known, bug in 4.2 ? (I'm building the rc 
as I type ... but would appreciate any ideas).

Regards,
Buchan
