I have written scripts to check the status of tests on the first Xymon that is run from the second Xymon server and reported on the second xymon server. I that way I have visibility to both to status of both Xymon servers on a single Xymon server.

For the xymonserver.cfg, what is the proper way to configure when you have 2 xymon servers (1 primary and 1 instant backup server that gets the same data from all the reporting clients)? Should I change it from multiple to single in the xymonserver.cfg? but still have both listed in the xymonclient.cfg?
Spot on - that is how it should be done. A Xymon server really should only be reporting to itself, not to other Xymon servers.
