OK I have an update with this problem, it seems that bbproxy - or
something, is crashing :S I have a number of cores but no backtrace when
using gdb.  I tried recompiling hobbit from source but have run into a
problem while running make install (make and make clean work fine):

any ideas? (Have re-downloaded source, applied patch and install and
also coped source from one server to the other with the same results)

Thanks,
Jason.

Ideally yes, since we don't want to be dependent on the main server for
monitoring our own site, the BBSERVERIP=137.202.205.54 (the proxies IP
address).

Thanks,
Jason.

So, you pretty much have everything enabled.

Depending on the values in hobbitserver.cfg (I think BBSERVERIP but I
haven't 
confirmed), this may be generating the traffic.

Do you really need the html pages to be available on this "proxy"
server?
