[Xymon] Conn/Ping Test/Graph to Secondary (Backup) IP

[Galen Johnson]

I expect you're going to have to use NCV to generate the rrds.  I don't
think Xymon will look at a number and just decide to track it.  I expect
someone will correct me if this is not the case.  I'd focus on getting
Xymon to create and populate the rrd files, then worry about the graphing.
