I am not sure I understand completely what you are trying to do, but ...

If you want host1 to show the data for itself AND host2, then the 
simplest way would be to run xymonproxy on host2, and have it proxy to 
both itself (127.0.0.1) and host1. Run xymonproxy on port 1984 so it 
catches all status reports - whether local or remote - and xymond (on 
host2) on another port (e.g. 1985).

If you just want two servers that are identical, then the safest way is 
to configure your clients to report to both servers. Your network test 
xymonnet's should only report to their own server - so you run them 
independently, but doing the same tests. With a bit of scripting you can 
automatically pull hosts.cfg and analysis.cfg from host1 to host2.

Hope that helps.
