I saw your other email and followed exactly as it is. But I get clear
for connection on hobbit server.
And the hobbit web page on proxy server is empty

I see the following in the proxy server logs

hobbit at ghar:~$ tail /var/log/hobbit/bb-display.log
2008-03-07 10:57:48 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Connection failed
2008-03-07 10:57:48 hobbitd status-board not available, code 5
2008-03-07 10:57:48 connect to bbd failed - Network is unreachable
2008-03-07 10:57:48 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Connection failed

hobbit at ghar:~$ tail /var/log/hobbit/bb-network.log
2008-03-07 10:51:32 connect to bbd failed - Network is unreachable
2008-03-07 10:51:32 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Connection failed

hobbit at ghar:~$ tail /var/log/hobbit/bbproxy.log
2008-03-07 18:47:04 bbproxy version 4.3.0-0.20080103 starting
2008-03-07 18:47:04 Listening on 0.0.0.0:1984
2008-03-07 18:47:04 Sending to Hobbit server(s) 8.4.0.5:1984 127.0.0.1:1985
2008-03-07 18:47:04 Sending client data to server(s) 8.4.0.5:1984
127.0.0.1:1985

8.4.0.5 is the master hobbit server (the IP is sterilized to save the innocents)

hobbit at ghar:~$ tail /var/log/hobbit/status.log
2008-03-07 18:11:00 Peer not up, flushing message queue
2008-03-07 18:12:34 Tried to down BOARDBUSY: Invalid argument

Here is an excerpt of the relevant configuration

hobbit at ghar:~/server/etc$ cat hobbitlaunch.cfg
[...]
[hobbitd]
        HEARTBEAT
        ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        CMD hobbitd --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitd.pid
--restart=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk --checkpoint-file=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk
--checkpoint-interval=600 --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitd.log
--admin-senders=127.0.0.1,$BBSERVERIP --listen=0.0.0.0:1985
--store-clientlogs=!msgs
[...]
[bbproxy]
        ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        CMD $BBHOME/bin/bbproxy --hobbitd
--servers=8.4.0.5,127.0.0.1:1985 --report=$MACHINE.bbproxy --no-daemon
--pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxy.pid
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxy.log
[...]



hobbit at ghar:~/server/etc$ cat hobbitserver.cfg
[...]
BBSERVERIP="8.4.0.5"
[...]

The proxy server is on internal network. It can talk to master hobbit
server and I am getting all the reports of the clients that
are sending the data to proxy server. The master server has no
visibility to the internal network

Here is the layout

                           All Internal Hosts 10.13.136.0/24
<--------> PROXY 10.13.136.134 ----------> Master Hobbit server
8.4.0.5

Thanks
