[Xymon] multiple xymon server IP

[Jeremy Laidman]

Joseph, you can override the default source IP address for xymonnet by
adding "--source-ip=ip.add.re.ss".  You would make this change in tasks.cfg.

Any tests that aren't handled by xymonnet (eg custom scripts such as
devmon) would have to do the equivalent.
