OK. I take it you have your main BB server up and running? Good!

Install the hobbit server onto the secondary boxes. Once it is installed 
Do not start it!

go into the server/etc/ directory of you new hobbit installation. Edit 
the file hobbitlaunch.cfg. Look for bbproxy. There you will find these 
instructions

# "bbproxy" is the Hobbit proxy server that allows you to forward status 
messages
# from a protected network to your Hobbit server. It is not enabled by 
default,
# since it would conflict with the hobbitd task.
# If you need to run this, then disabled hobbitd and the hobbitd-modules
# above, then enable this. Make sure you enter the IP-address of your
# Hobbit server in the command-line, so that the proxy knows where to 
forward
# status messages.

Follow them :)

As a side note, do you want the proxy servers to do network tests? If so 
then you will want to use the  NET:location tag in bb-hosts to seperate 
the client machines.

Cheers
