[Xymon] Option to chroot the Web part?

Hello,

I would like to chroot/jail the Web part of the Xymon server.

During the 4.3.10 install process, I have configured "/usr/local/xymon" as the destination folder. I saw the opportunity to modify the directories for the CGI scripts but not for the "static" Web pages. Is it possible to have the server stuff (/bin/, /etc/, ...) is some directory and the Web stuff (/web/, /www/) in some other directory, not sharing the same root?

As an example, I'd like something like:
/usr/local/xymon/client
/usr/local/xymon/data
/usr/local/xymon/server
/usr/local/xymon/server/bin
/usr/local/xymon/server/download
/usr/local/xymon/server/etc
/usr/local/xymon/server/ext
/usr/local/xymon/server/tmp
/var/www/xymon/cgi-bin
/var/www/xymon/cgi-secure
/var/www/xymon/server/web
/var/www/xymon/server/www

Thanks for help.
	Jo
