[hobbit] BB / Hobbit setup : bbproxy, bbrelay, etc.

[Thomas]

Hi,
I am running a similar setup. Only difference is that I have srv3 
opgraded to hobbit.

You can run BBNET and BBPROXY on one server without any problem, you 
need to DISABLE the hobbitd and remove the need statement on BBNET but 
it will run just fine.

On srv3 you will need to setup BBPAGER for all hosts/services tested 
from srv2 as hobbit does not send pages to srv1. Additionally you may 
need to update your clients with the second BBDISPLAY server IPs or the 
BBPROXY and then configure BBPROXY to send mesages to srv1+srv3

Last but not least, a word of warning... I have many problems with 
purple events circulation from BB to hobbit. An anouyance (sp?) that 
will push me to upgrade all servers to hobbit.
