Execute a script on the client side

Hi
I use Xymon to monitor multiple server. Since last week, one of my
server get a suspicious behavior : the openvpn process was still up,
but the default route changed, making it appears on the web with its
original IP address (and not the openvpn gateway).

I decide to use xymon to detect this, but, I'm kind of stuck to
execute the script on the client side
I follow this "howto" :
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/Other_Docs/HOWTO#How_to_write_server_side_module_.3F
But, finally, the script give my the public address of the SERVER side.

So, am I doing something wrong with the server side module ? Is there
an option to push the test on the client side ?
Or, must I put the script on the client side (~hobbit/client/ext/),
like describe here :
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/Other_Docs/HOWTO#How_can_I_create_a_hobbit_client_custom_test_script.3F
?

(I know, the name "server side module" is obvious, but I thought
xymon was able to keep client configuration on server side)
