[Xymon] bbproxy max server

[Olivier AUDRY]

hello Henrik

what do you think about increasing the value of MAX_SERVERS from 3 to 5 in bbproxy.c ? What kind of impact can we expect ? If you don't recommend to increase this can we run chained bbproxy ?

Another point about bbproxy. You recommend to do this config :
[bbproxy]
       ENVFILE /opt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver-proxy.cfg
       CMD $BBHOME/bin/bbproxy --hobbitd --bbdisplay=IP1,IP2,IP3 --report=$MACHINE.bbproxy --no-daemon --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxy.pid --listen=IP0
       LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxy.log

and not this one :

[bbproxy]
        ENVFILE /opt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver-proxy.cfg
        CMD $BBHOME/bin/bbproxy --hobbitd --bbdisplay=127.0.0.1:1985,127.0.0.1:1986,127.0.0.1  --report=$MACHINE.bbproxy --no-daemon --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxy.pid --listen=IP0:1984
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxy.log

[bbproxyFORWARDER]
        ENVFILE /opt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver-proxy.cfg
        CMD $BBHOME/bin/bbproxy --hobbitd --bbdisplay=IP1   --no-daemon --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxyFORWARDER.pid --listen=127.0.0.1:1985
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxyFORWARDER.log

[bbproxyDEV]
        ENVFILE /opt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver-proxy.cfg
        CMD $BBHOME/bin/bbproxy --hobbitd --bbdisplay=IP2   --no-daemon --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxyINOFYS.pid --listen=127.0.0.1:1986
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxyINFOSYS.log



but in the first config when one server is not responding the message are delayed a long time and we got purples. 
So I put the second one in production.
