Xymon Client Configuration Updates from Multiple Xymon Servers?
If a Xymon client is configured to send status messages to multiple Xymon servers, is it possible that the client will receive configuration updates from more than one of the servers?

The xymon client connects to both servers and sends its client data. But it only waits for the client config update from the first server to which it could connect. This can be confirmed by manually running xymon on a client with the "--debug" switch, like so:
$XYMON --debug $XYMSRV "@" < $XYMONTMP/msg.$MACHINEDOTS
It shows that the first connection reads data from the server after writing, but the second connection only writes.
