I appreciate the response! Is there a way to make it look at the file only/first? I would rather it not use DNS at all.

We had this issue and it was caused by invalid settings in our DNS server. Xymon seems to attempt a DNS resolution prior to using the hard-coded IP address, which was tremendously confusing for us, but identified a problem were were unaware of.

The system is correct in hosts.cfg and it seems it is monitoring the correct host, but when it alerts on it, Xymon puts the wrong IP in the email and it also puts the wrong IP on the webpage. If I grep for that incorrect IP, it doesn’t exist in $xymon/server/etc anywhere.
