Hi Henrik,

Thanks for the reply.

This is a standard install on RH5, all I changed was the xymonclient.cfg file to include both servers
[xymon at yxmprdr01 ~]$ ls
cgi-bin  cgi-secure  client  data  server
[xymon at yxmprdr01 ~]$ grep ENVFILE server/etc/tasks.cfg
        ENVFILE /apps/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
...
        ENVFILE /apps/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg

[xymon at yxmprdr01 ~]$ grep XYMSRV server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
XYMSRV="$XYMONSERVERIP"         # IP of a single Xymon server
XYMSERVERS=""                   # IP of multiple Xymon servers. If used, XYMSRV must be 0.0.0.0
BBDISP="$XYMSRV"

[xymon at yxmprdr01 ~]$ grep XYMONSERVERIP server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
XYMONSERVERIP="10.10.10.69"                    # The IP-address of your server. Use the real one, not 127.0.0.1 .
XYMSRV="$XYMONSERVERIP"         # IP of a single Xymon server
MACHINEADDR="$XYMONSERVERIP"            # This systems IP-address
BBSERVERIP="$XYMONSERVERIP"

[xymon at yxmprdr01 ~]$ more client/etc/xymonclient.cfg
# Environment settings for the Xymon client.

XYMSRV="0.0.0.0"          # IP address of the Xymon server
XYMSERVERS="10.10.10.69 10.10.10.70"                   # IP of multiple Xymon servers. XYMSRV must be "0.0.0.0".
CONFIGCLASS="$SERVEROSTYPE"     # Default configuration class for logfiles
