I don't understand this. Why are you running xymonproxy1 and xymonproxy2,
if they are merely pass-through to vip2 and vip3 ? A simpler setup would
be

xymonproxy listen on vip1 on port 1984
         he send information to a local xymond on 127.0.0.1 and port 1984
         he send information to a xymond on vip 2 port 1984
         he send information to a xymond on vip 3 port 1984

This hits your local xymond task, so it definitely should work.

> But if I do a xymon --timeout=5 vip1 "xymondboard" is not working.

I don't think it ever did. The proxy only forwards a response to
these commands: ping, config, query and download. This is unchanged
since at least 4.2.0.
