[Xymon] New server causing issues with CONN test

[Josh Luthman]

Are the two servers using the same IP?  Tied to one another in any way?  I
would start a ping and turn the other server on and see when it goes down.

brand new servers that will be running CentOS 6 64-bit and the latest
version of xymon (4.3.3 before I saw 4.3.4 today). I did not see a fix to my
issue in the 4.3.4 change log though, so figured I'd post here.

install CentOS 6 as a web server install, and then add in all the bits xymon
needs (pcre, openssl, openldap, rrdtool, etc).. Then I compile and install
xymon to /usr/lib/xymon. Next I copy over the bb-hosts file to the
hosts.cfg, and follow the "migration" steps to get the data and
configuration files over. Then I turn on xymon on the new server.

until I shutdown the new CentOS xymon server. Within a few minutes of the
new server being shut down, the alerts go away for good.
