Looks like you have both BBDISP and BBDISPLAYS configured wrong, see following example.
BBDISP="0.0.0.0" # IP address of the Hobbit server BBDISPLAYS="hobbit1.test.com hobbit2.test.com" # IP of multiple Hobbit servers. BBDISP must be "0.0.0.0".

Sorry for this entry being so long. I am trying to include as much info as possible.
Running Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 on CentOS 5.3.
I am trying to send to 2 xymon servers (Primary – monitor1, Secondary – monitor2) from multiple clients.
CLIENTS BEING TESTED:
o Linux (tomvip)
o BBWin (sltst03)
o Current BB clients that are in service (slcts00)
It worked after we set the 1984 TCP port in the firewall for a short time and then quit.
I am also having the same problem when setting the BBWin to point to both server (it works and then it stops to one of them).
If I add both addresses to the actual BB windows client, they both report the exact same icons to both servers and the BB server.
I was able to get both the BB and the BBWin clients to run on the same Windows server.
We setup a different registry name for the BBWin client (e.g. slcts00 vs. slcts00.csw.L-3com.com for BB).
I have the iptables firewalls on both monitor1 and monitor2 OFF.
cd /etc/init.d
./iptables stop
I get PURPLE icons on monitor1 and OK icons on monitor2: (for Linux, but just dashed for BBWin).

Beginning of file from /root/XYMON/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg:
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may not have to set
HOBBITCLIENTHOME= or BBOSTYPE= but I set them here
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Directory for the Hobbit client files
HOBBITCLIENTHOME=/root/XYMON/client
BBOSTYPE=linux
List can include:
aix, dynix, greebsd, hp-ux, irix, linux
redhat, debian, openbsd, netbds, osf
sco, unixware, sunos, solaris, etc.
See: http://xymon.trantor.org/doku.php/monitors:bbswap
For setup up of an extension script to monitor swap space.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO REPORT TO MORE THAN ONE XYMON SERVER
JUST ADD MORE THAN ONE BBDISP= LINE
You can use either the IP
Addresses or the URLs.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BBDISP="monitor1.csw.l-3com.com"
IP address of the 1st Hobbit server
BBDISP="monitor2.csw.l-3com.com"
IP address of the 2nd Hobbit server-if setup
BBDISPLAYS="0.0.0.0"
IP of multiple Hobbit servers.
BBDISP must be "0.0.0.0".
CONFIGCLASS="$BBOSTYPE"
Default configuration class
for logfiles
PATH setting for the client scripts
PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/etc"
I have tried it without the BBDISPLAYS=”” set – still the same output.

I can ping the monitor1 server with no problems.

I am getting more confused as I go along, something works and then it stops working and I am not sure what I did to change the results?
