Is this also possible with BBwin Client systems.

I use msgcache and the pulldata tag, so that the Hobbit server connects to the
hosts being monitored ...

bbproxy works fine as well (but I don't use it for a DMZ, however for a 2nd
site that forwards all the data (from clients, it's own bbtest-net, and it's
own devmon) to the single display that is "monitored" by the monitoring team.

Either way, depending on how you configure them ... (see above).
