Hi Henrik,
I would like to have the same set-up. And am experiencing some problems.
I will try my best to provide the needed information as much as I can:
[1] using hobbit version: 4.1.2p1
[2] my bbproxy.log contains the following (repeated lines, truncated):
-----
2006-04-17 02:06:48 Cannot bind to listen socket (Address already in use)
2006-04-17 02:06:54 Cannot bind to listen socket (Address already in use)
2006-04-17 02:07:00 Cannot bind to listen socket (Address already in use)

[3] hobbitlaunch.log contains (repeated lines, truncated):
-----
2006-04-17 01:46:00 Task bbproxy terminated, status 1
2006-04-17 01:56:00 Task bbproxy terminated, status 1
2006-04-17 01:56:06 Task bbproxy terminated, status 1
2006-04-17 01:56:12 Task bbproxy terminated, status 1
2006-04-17 01:56:18 Task bbproxy terminated, status 1
2006-04-17 01:56:24 Task bbproxy terminated, status 1
2006-04-17 01:56:30 Task bbproxy terminated, status 1

[4] hobbitclient.log contains (repeated lines, truncated):
-----
2006-04-17 02:05:48 Could not connect to bbd at 10.116.162.30:1984 -
Connection refused
2006-04-17 02:05:48 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Connection failed

[5] I followed the instructions you have outlined to the letter.
[6] There is only one client for now, the "proxy" hobbit server. The
tests started out green but turned purple after a while. Status
messages for them are there. rrd graphs are all "nan". hobbitd status
page displays this:

[7] I am not able to see status messages on the "master" server. Do I
need to add the configuration for the client in bb-hosts?
Attached is the CMD shell script I made for bbtest-net. In case the
problem is there. (the attachment is a zip file. gmail is funky about
.zip containing execs so i renamed it)
Your inputs on this are very much appreciated.
Best regards,
Great
