[hobbit] Sending Hobbit data from one server to another

[Whilding, Craig]

In my case 127.0.0.1 is the ip of the display server with port 1984. The
proxy is running on the external ip of the server and port 1984. I could
probably change it so that the server runs only on the external ip with
different ports but my method has been working fine for the past couple
of years.

The network tests needed sending to the proxy which is running on the
external ip instead of internal so that's why the change was needed
there.

This config is probably in the list archive from a couple of years ago
now when it was first suggested. Its getting rebuilt soon though so I
might try different port settings instead.

Thanks,
Craig

If this is in hobbitserver.cfg on the proxy, IMHO, this should be the IP
of 
the real display server.

If you have set BBSERVERIP to the main display server, then this is 
unnecessary.

Well, each should be on a dedicated IP+port combination. If you don't
have a 
dedicated IP, then using an alternative port is sufficient. Or, if you
need 
the proxy to listen on more than one IP (thus 0.0.0.0), then you have to
use 
a different port.
