[xymon] IP address - from where?

[Vernon Everett]

Hi Henrik

Our DNS servers exist in Wintendo land. so I guess that's remote.
I could set up a local DNS, but, because of the nature of this contract, and
the way the support company works, I don't think I should.
(We are setting up everything, and a remote services mob are going to be
administering it all. Transition to remote services is supposed to happen in
the next 2 months)
It works with --no-ares, so I am not going to pursue it any further - unless
I can  assist in some way with debugging info.
If there is benefit to be gained for the dev team, let me know you would
like me to do.

Cheers
    Vernon
