[Xymon] Configure multiple hostname on the same client.

[Rolf Schrittenlocher]

Hi Thomas,

we've got the same problem. There are some rather old postings about 
that but at least at ancient hobbit times there was no solution. You can 
start multiple instances from one client but then you'll have a problem 
at the server which regards incoming messages from the same address for 
the same tests as an error as long as there aren't at least some seconds 
in between these two messages.
Therefore we hacked the startup script and the client will always use 
its logical interface as long as there is one

regards
Rolf
