Ideally yes, since we don't want to be dependent on the main server for
monitoring our own site, the BBSERVERIP=137.202.205.54 (the proxies IP
address).

Thanks,
Jason.

Depending on the values in hobbitserver.cfg (I think BBSERVERIP but I
haven't 
confirmed), this may be generating the traffic.

Do you really need the html pages to be available on this "proxy"
server?
