Setup the server as a normal Xymon server, then disable all tasks in tasks.cfg / hobbitlaunch.cfg except the network test.Thanks Ralph and Henrik. It is almost working. I have made all the changes you have suggested and the only problem left is that the main display server, which is also the network tester for most clients, is still trying to ping the hosts in the BBLOCATION which have a NET:zone tag on the bb-hosts line. So the conn test is cycling from green (when tested from within the zone) to red (when tested from the public side. Shouldn't the display server not try to ping (or ssh, telnet, etc.) any of the hosts with a NET: tag? Or does the display server also need a BBLOCATION set for it (say 'public')? But then I would have to add NET:public to all of the other clients, right?
Set "BBLOCATION=public" for the main display server, then add "--test-untagged" to the bbtest-net command line ONLY on this (the main) server. Then it will only test those servers that either have a "NET:public" setting in bb-hosts, OR no "NET:..." at all.
