[Xymon] Services false positive

Tell it to use IP only, I believe there is an option to do that, man
hosts.cfg.

Hey Everyone, I think I found a bug in xymon, I am monitoring a few hundred
servers and I found that servers with similar names but different purposes
are trying to report the same services.  For instance, XXXXXXXXXXX486 and
XXXXXXXXXXX487 is duplicating the service checks for  XXXXXXXXXXX48.  Is
there any way that anyone knows of to get xymon to look at the entire
machine name instead of just the first 12 characters of it?
