> My windows machine exists on a DMZ which has no access to my xymon server.  My xymon server however has access to the DMZ located windows client.  I wish to have the windows DMZ client collect its own data and hold it for the Xymon server, which in turn will get it with a datafetch. My restrictions are based on rules from our security team and are not negotiable.  I do not wish to create a VM running the Xymon server, although doing that will require the bb-proxy, which I assume is what you were referring to as proxy?

You can disregard what I was saying about the proxy system as this is 
used for multiple clients to send data to which the forwards this onto 
the main hobbit server. I did not know if you meant a single client or 
multiple but now I see you mean a single client

OK. So this windows client is the only client you wish to collect data 
from? In that case the hobbitfetch command uses msgcache to queue the 
messages. In this case I do not know if the BBWin client will support 
this functionality

http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2008/04/msg00079.html

This is for the BBWin 0.11 client. So with standard tools you will 
probably not be able to do what you want.

As for the VM yes the proxy I was refering to was bb-proxy. It is 
somewhat convuluted, and I am not sure if this would actually work but:


WinServer ----> HobbitProxy VM / msgcache <-------- Real hobbit server.

Does anyone know if you can use a combination of msgcache and hobbitproxy?

Cheers

Iain
