It does give me the board as output.

If it gives you more info

-bash-2.05b$ netstat -ln | grep 198
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1984 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 172.17.110.20:1986 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

where 1986 is the "local" BBNET/BBDISPLAY and the 1984 is the bbproxy server.

The error is only reported on the "central" BBDISPLAY

Now the problem started when I decided to "upgrade" the hobbit BBNET 

only server to also be a BBDISPLAY server. I did this by starting hobbit 

on port 1986 (--listen=172.17.110.20:1986) along with the 

bbdisplay/histry/lard etc processes and then add a third bbdisplay 

server to my bbproxy configuration (--bbdisplay=172.17.110.20:1986).

    

I haven't quite understood exactly which servers are running BBDISPLAY 

and which are proxying and who should talk to who, but I think the

problem might have to do with the port 1986. Several of the tools - 

including bbgen (generates the overview webpages) and hobbitsvc.cgi 

(generates the detailed status view) talk to hobbitd over the network,

so they may have to be tweaked to communicate with a hobbitd on port

1986.



For troubleshooting, could you try running



   BBPORT=1986; export BBPORT

   bb ip.of.your.bbdisplay hobbitdboard



This should fetch the current status from your server using port 1986.



Now I'll go re-read your mail in greater detail and see if I can figure

out what your setup is :-)
