I have an xymon client for a NAS but the NAS is connected via another xymon client and is not reachable from the xymon server. How would I set this up in the xymon server configuration - does it need a hosts.cfg entry and if so, what would it look like? On the client, do I give it the address of the xymon client running xymonproxy or the actual server?

If I understand your situation correctly: turn the server with connection to the main xymon server into a proxy and point the NAS to that proxy. I believe you would have to install the xymon server there (to provide the xymonproxy utility) turn off everything you don't need in tasks.cfg and turn on xymonproxy. The comments are good in the file about how to do this. You may have to use the arg to xymonproxy to tell it to listen to a different ip than the standard one if the server is dual homed and the NAS is on, say, a private network.
I'm not sure if the proxy needs hosts.cfg. On my proxy it already does because it was private network tester before it was a proxy.
