[Xymon] Forwarding status messages

[Thomas Eckert]

The bbproxy-idea sounds good.

The following _should_ work:
- running bbproxy on the old installation listening on port 1984 to 
accept all incoming messages
- re-configure the hobbitd on the old installation to listen on another 
port (say 1985)
- forward messages from bbproxy to localhost:1985 and newserver:1984

I've done something similar with ssh tunnels and bbproxy. A test-setup 
would before going live with this may be helpful.

Another option may be to add an additional IP to your server and binding 
bbproxy and hobbitd to them?

All the best
Thomas
