If I understand this correctly, on the main Hobbit server I would add:<br><br>Summary Vegas.All pub.lic.i.p <a href="http://vegas.foo.com/hobbit/">http://vegas.foo.com/hobbit/</a>
<br><br>Correct?<br><br>What would be an alternative solution should I find myself not able to access the web pages from outside the hotel network?<br><br>Thanks a lot for your help Greg - slowly but surely, I'm getting it =)

<div></div>Honestly either one would work for me - I'd like to go for whatever
is easiest to maintain, so option b would be my preference.<br><br>I see on
the demo site that at the bottom it has an SSLUG remote host. The links
go to the remote bbdisplay, making it so that if IPs or hosts need to be
changed, they're only changed on this one server. <br><br>This would be
perfect for my situation, though I don't know what the tyge or www tests are
or what changed I need to do. I would imagine it is simply adding a
couple of lines in bb-hosts though it may include bblocation in the
hobbitserver.cfg.<br><br>Does anyone know how Henrik got his demo site setup
like that?<br><br>Josh<br><br><br><br>

configure each client (at a customer location) to send to the local server

all appear in the bb-hosts in your main server, as well as in the bb-hosts

(might work) -- you can have the Hobbit server at the customer location send
up a summary to your main server. You will get a single dot that shows
the overall status of that customer. The dot is linked to the Hobbit
page on the remote server. This way you don't have to keep updating

<div></div>I can't scp the entire host list, nor would I need to - it
isn't going to change and the hosts are not identical.<br><br>Let me tell
you how the overall picture looks. We have a main Hobbit server that
monitors our backbone, customers' home routers, WWW servers and
things. Now we're adding a Hobbit at a hotel's LAN. The first
step was to get Hobbit running there on its own little world and ping the
access points. Now the next step, where I'm stuck, is to duplicate
the information that is sent from bbtest to the bbdisplay on our company
Hobbit. <br><br>The hotel's list of hosts is limited - their APs and a
couple of their guest/lobby PCs. Ours needs to have the things it
has currently, but another page that includes the hotel's
hosts.<br><br>Sorry, I know I'm terrible at explaining my own situations

Net:poller2 with all the hosts poller2 polls. This may not be
useful in the setup you're trying to get working, but it can't hurt to
include. I think your original config is the one to go with, but I
might go with <a href="http://127.0.0.1" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">127.0.0.1</a> and no spaces.
I'm pretty sure the BBDISPLAYS just has bbtest-net send it to everything

1984 will have to be opened appropriately on any
