My entry for bbproxy in hobbitlaunch.cfg is like this:
CMD $BBHOME/bin/bbproxy --hobbitd --bbdisplay=<other IP
address(es)>,127.0.0.1 --listen=0.0.0.0:1985 --report=$MACHINE.bbproxy
--no-daemon --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxy.pid #--log-details
And hobbitserver.cfg:
BBDISPLAYS="127.0.0.1 <other IP address(es)>"	# IP of multiple hobbit/bbd
servers. If used, BBDISP must be 0.0.0.0

Which alarms exactly are not being forwarded?
