[Xymon] Status changing white to green in a loop

[Galen Johnson]

By any chance, are you using xymonfetch?  If so, you will need to add a
unique to each server by passing the '--id=1', for example, to the
xymonfetch command defined in tasks.cfg.  If you aren't using fetch then
this shouldn't be an issue as long as the clients know to talk to both
servers and they aren't behind a load balancer or round robin dns.  If the
clients are pointing to a loadbalancer, you'll still want to explicitly
point the clients to the individual servers.
