Not sure what the real reasoning is behind this but if you have 1000 servers monitored behind 3 hobbit servers each, figure one Hobbit server goes down you lost 1000/3000 being monitored. If you have 3000 servers being monitored behind 1 hobbit server, that one point of failure leaves you blind of all 3000 servers.
Those are my thoughts, at least =)

Why 3 servers?
We use one server to monitor hundreds of systems in data centers all over the world. Having one centralized configuration sure makes like a lot easier than trying to maintain three of them.
