The '@' modifier is for defining the SOURCE of the connection, not the 
destination. It is used when your Xymon server is multihomed.

For multihomed destinations, you need a separate entry in the hosts.cfg 
(bb-hosts) file with the alternate IP and the "testip" tag. In your case 
it would be like this:

10.20.30.40 server-ip2.domain.com # testip ssh
