[Xymon] Host Names

[Joshua Hunt]

Excellent! I would like to mention that I do have the IP address included
in all my hosts, I just left it out while typing up my question. I
reformatted to put the alias after the pound sign instead of before, and
now it works.

As for the multiple hosts, I am planning on disabling all normally enabled
network tests. I do not need them for the monitoring I'm doing.

Thank you everyone for your help!
