Hi Rolf,

We are working with virtual hosts. Our services are linked to virtual hostnames, each machine may have a number of virtual hostnames. So one machine should be able to send reports using different hostnames. In bb we had bbaliasname for that purpose which set a limit of 2 to the number of names usable. There we had to hack bbinc, bb-bbexttab, etc.
So what you're asking for is that each virtual server can have the full set of client status messages: cpu, disk, memory and so on - but these should just be copies of the status messages from the real server, not data obtained by querying the virtual server ?
Or is this related to clustering ? I know some HP-UX clusters have their clustered applications tied to a virtual IP-address, which then follows the software package as it moves to different hosts in the cluster. So maybe you have a custom extension script running and it can run on any node in the cluster, but you always want it reported on a specific host from your bb-hosts file ?
I think Hobbit can do what you want to do without any code changes being needed, but I have to understand your request first :-)
