Stef Coene was nice enough to grab that mailing list post and put it up on his Wiki:

Here's the situation. I have one hobbit server running on a DMZ'ed machine, and another hobbit server running on the internal network (the protected side of the DMZ). The general policy is to not allow any DMZ host to initiate connections to the internal servers (security policy and all). However, I would like to have a summary of the DMZ hobbit server to be displayed on the internal hobbit server.

According to the bb-hosts man page, the "summary" command pushes data to the upstream server--in this case, it would be my internal hobbit server. Is there a way for the upstream server to pull the data instead ( i.e. the internal "upstream" server pull from the DMZ'ed hobbit server)? If not currently, are there plans to add this feature to a future release of Hobbit?
