Now the problem started when I decided to "upgrade" the hobbit BBNET only server to also be a BBDISPLAY server. I did this by starting hobbit on port 1986 (--listen=172.17.110.20:1986) along with the bbdisplay/histry/lard etc processes and then add a third bbdisplay server to my bbproxy configuration (--bbdisplay=172.17.110.20:1986).
I haven't quite understood exactly which servers are running BBDISPLAY and which are proxying and who should talk to who, but I think the problem might have to do with the port 1986. Several of the tools - including bbgen (generates the overview webpages) and hobbitsvc.cgi (generates the detailed status view) talk to hobbitd over the network, so they may have to be tweaked to communicate with a hobbitd on port 1986.
For troubleshooting, could you try running
BBPORT=1986; export BBPORT bb ip.of.your.bbdisplay hobbitdboard
This should fetch the current status from your server using port 1986.
Now I'll go re-read your mail in greater detail and see if I can figure out what your setup is :-)
