Vernon,

You're the best judge of what's appropriate vis-a-vis your contract and
support channels, but if there's any cordiality there, you might touch
base with them on setting up a caching-only named on your Xymon server. 
You'd be greatly decreasing somewhat gratuitous hits on their servers, and
they might welcome it.  You probably know that it's a very simple setup.
