Host 3 would have the xymon client on it.
Host 2 would have the xymon server on it, configured as a proxy. You may also have the server on it on a separate port, if you want.

No, you only need to install the Xymon server software where you want to collect and display the test results. With this alone, the Xymon server can display the results of any network tests (conn=ping, ssh, smtp, dns, http) sent to any other server. No other software is required, just the Xymon server software.
Possible I did not wrote correctly in English... I will draw it.
host 1 (Xymon server / web) | | host 2 (Xymon server 2 or Xymon client ?) | | host 3
"host 3" is not avaliable from "host 1". "host 2" should make ping test and send result to "host 1".
If the Xymon server needs to monitor its own OS parameters (CPU, memory, disk), it also needs to have the Xymon client software installed and running.
If the Xymon server needs to monitor another host's OS parameters (CPU, memory, disk), the Xymon client software needs to be installed onto the other host.
I.e. "host 2" should contains Xymon server installation because the "ping test" is not of the OS parameter. Yes ?
I see only "xymon-server.my.dom" and "xymon-client.my.dom" (with their
tests) on information web page of mail server. Is there a chance to see "server2.my.dom" on the main server ?
Yes. Add server2.my.dom into hosts.cfg on the Xymon server.
"ping test" for "host 3" will be unsuccessful from main Xymon server (host 1). :-(
