So, really, I just need to worry about setting up the clients to use msgcache?

Simply, what it means is that if you're running xymonfetch from the Xymon
server, itself, then the --server variable could be filled in with the
localhost ip.

If, however, you're running xymonfetch from a Xymon client, elsewhere,
then you should fill the in --server variable with the actual IP of the
actual Xymon server.
