No, it indicates that the Xymon server is taking a long time to resolve host
names to IP addresses. You may need to configure the DNS client settings on the
Xymon server (e.g. adjust the 'server' parameters in /etc/resolv.conf).
If you have most IP addresses hardcoded correctly in bb-hosts, you may want to
add the 'testip' flag to the relevant lines of bb-hosts.
