hobbitdboard via bbproxy

[Buchan Milne <bgmilne (at) staff.telkomsa.net>]

I have a multi-server setup, with one display/bbnet, and two other 
bbnet/bbproxy boxes. The only access to the display server from some networks 
is via the proxies. I now require some of the clients behind one of the 
proxies to check the status of some of their tests, and I thought 
hobbitdboard or similar would be ideal.

I can use 'bb $displayserver "hobbitdboard host=foo service=bar color=red"' 
from the proxy, but I can't do 'bb localhost "hobbitdboard host=foo 
service=bar color=red"' from the proxy, while say 'bb localhost "config 
bb-msgtab"' does work from the proxy.

So, I don't see that I should need to change any configuration on the display 
server, but why isn't this command working via bbproxy?

All boxes are running 4.2.0 with allinone patch from 20061003.
