[xymon] IP address - from where?

[Vernon Everett]

I will have a chat.
There is a very cordial relationship, but politics, as always, makes
it.....interesting.
I am not going to go into any further detail in an open forum. :-)

Before I have my chat though, I need to be armed with more info.
Using little words, and sock-puppets (if required), can you explain exactly
what the ares doo-hicky actually does?
What happens differently when we run Xymon with and without the --no-ares?

Cheers
    Vernon
