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

I would like the new xymon box to send out tests/ requests on the alias IP.<br>
(firewall issue again).<br>
<br>
If I change the host IP to the alias in the various xymon config files (once the<br>
old box is retired), and restart xymon, am I correct in assuming it would use<br>
the alias for outgoing xymon related stuff?<br>
