[Xymon] A couple of migration questions

[Larry Barber]

There's no problem with having xymonproxy and xymond running on the same
machine, you just need to change the port that one of them listens on. It's
usually easier to change xymond's port. I have run several servers with
xymonproxy running "on top" of xymond, where the xymonproxy instance would
forward to both another port on the machine it was running on (usually
1985) and to another machine that was running a backup instance of xymon or
a test instance.

Thanks,
Larry Barber
