Nope, that should not be a problem.  Xymon doesn't normally care where a
client message comes from as long as the hostname matches an entry in
hosts.cfg.

Strange.

Happy to help.

I'd be running the xymond_channel process to see if it catches the client
messages you're sending, and perhaps compare with other client messages.
 Something like this:

$ xymoncmd xymond_channel --filter="lkmrflmf00w" --channel=client cat

This will capture client messages where the first line contains
"lkmrflmf00w".  You can replace "cat" with "grep" or "sed" or other
commands that limit the output.  Although if this is the only message for
this host then probably not necessary in this case.
