It's OK, that makes me useful =)

You might want to take a look at the bbproxy man page: http://192.168.1.50/xymon/help/manpages/man8/bbproxy.8.html

If you have the option of setting up a private network between the 3 hobbit servers, you ought to be able to push the bbproxy output over it, thereby keeping all the hobbit traffic off your main network. Or I could be all wet - I have no idea if that would work... :)

Hello everyone,
We have a bit of a predicament at my work and I am hoping the knowledge of this mailing list can help out! I shall explain what we have / need and hopefully there shall be a solution :)
We currently have 3 data centres, and would like a hobbit server in each. Our design is to have all servers in one data centre communicating with the hobbit within that data centre. We would then want the hobbit servers to communicate between each other to share the knowledge of the tests so each hobbit has a full view of all 3 data centres.
I have currently configured each hobbit to have knowledge of the others by changing BBDISP to 0.0.0.0 and BBDISPLAYS to the 3 hobbit server IP's. I have then configured all our clients to talk only to the the hobbit within the local data centre.
So far I have observed that any server side test replicates fine across all hobbits, however it seems for any client side scripts that are run, that only the hobbit the client reports to will get the data and wont share it with the other two. We don't want to have to configure each client to talk to all 3 hobbits as this will increase the network chatter.
Hopefully I've explained that well enough, does this make sense and is there a way around it?
Many thanks in advance for your time, James.
