You don't have multiple xymon servers configured in xymon or the same hostname in DNS multiple times by any chance?

Anyone point me in the right direction?

All of my client systems have two Xymon servers setup in xymonclient.cfg so that isn't a change from what my normal is at least. Nothing is in DNS twice. Can you explain why either of those might matter though?
Thanks

If you have multiple xymon servers in the config and they aren't set up correctly, this can happen (happened to me). Both servers are being communicated with but only one gets the "official" response. It's been a while since I had to deal with it and I no longer have a Xymon install so I don't recall the exact details to ensure they're set up correctly but hopefully that's enough to jog someone's memory of what to look for.
