[Xymon] XYMONSERVERS bug

[Ralph Mitchell]

Yes. Your clients try to talk to server1, eventually timeout, then deliver
to server2. I think the server reads the clients clock time from the status
message, so if the message is delayed, the clock time looks wrong.

That's a guess, I haven't looked at the source, but that would explain what
you're seeing.
