[xymon] How to setup a remote copy of my XYMON Display

[Nicolas]

Hi,

>1st question:
>I understand that I could have each of my clients
~xymon/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg file modified and setup the BBDISPLAYS
variable in it, but is there an easier (or another) way to have the >original
xymon server forward this to the second (just like it is forwarding all of the
other status messages)?

You should use bbproxy feature to forward all events from Xymon-A to
Xymon-B.
