[Xymon] Flapping Status??? Unkown IP

[Clayton Lowther]

Found my problem... was having a moment... In the Hosts.cfg file I had 
used Fake Names for the systems and it was trying to use DNS to resolve 
them...

adding testip fixed the problem....

What is the proper way of not Using the hostname? So that it shows a 
custom name of the webpage instead of the actual hostname?
