Leon:

1 & 2 I guess a simple xymon daemon restart should be enough to have the 
daemon listening on the new IP address (depends if it is listening on 
0.0.0.0:1984 or specific IP address. You can check this by using netstat 
(or "ss" if netstat is not available anymore)

3 On your clients, you have to set the new IP address indeed. The place 
to perform the change depends on your OS. On Debian/Ubuntu, if you use 
the official package, you may check /etc/default/xymon-client file. For 
other OS or installation mode, I don't know. Anyway, you can look for 
this variable : XYMONSERVERS

if this is pointing to your old IP address, change it to the new one ;)
