Hi all, Due to the way our networks are setup over the long haul, I'm setting up a second xymon proxy server on another network.
So I will now have a main server on our corporate network, it will handle all machines.
Then I have 1 proxy on a private network. It is monitoring all 3 of our private networks and forwarding up to the main server, to itself (on port 1985) and to a test server (my 4.3.0 machine, that I need to upgrade).
The second proxy will also monitor all 3 of the private networks, it is on one of the other private networks, and has its own route to the main server. The theory is that if we lose the MPLS between the networks, we still can get the info we need to the main.
So my question is, is there any problem with 2 proxy servers sending the same info to the main?
I have the first proxy set to monitor the main, and if the main goes down, it takes over alerting. I plan on having the 2nd proxy just monitor the 1st proxy (and the main) and if they are both down, it will send an alert for the oncall to manually have that machine start alerting.Paul.

Oh, One follow up. Being on different networks, these proxies would access the routers (and PIXes) from different interfaces.
What are the ramifications for the main server if proxy a gives PIX1 as 192.168.181.4 and proxy b gives it as 192.168.181.52?Paul.
