XYMONNETWORK environment variable

So a follow up.

I'm guessing I need a new section for an additional xymonnet?

So I did this:

[xymonnet]
        ENVFILE /usr/lib64/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
        NEEDS xymond
        CMD xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse
        LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymon-network.log
        INTERVAL 5m

[xymonnet2]
        ENVFILE /usr/lib64/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
        NEEDS xymond
        CMD XYMONNETWORK=IAD xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse
        LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymon-network.log
        INTERVAL 5m

Is that right? And it's ok to use the same log file?

Should I have another xymonnetagain then too?

XYMONNETWORK is a single entity, but you can set up multiple xymonnet instance on a given server and use a different XYMONNETWORK for each one. Just invoke xymonnet like this in tasks.cfg : XYMONNETWORK=xxxxxx $XYMONSERVERHOME/bin/xymonnet ....

I'll looking at this to reduce a bit of complexity in my network since I have a couple of proxies (that also act as backup).

Is the XYMONNETWORK variable a single entry or could it be a list of logical networks for a proxy to serve?

My setup has 4 distinct networks and 2 proxies, plus a bunch of devmon boxes that may want to be separated as well.
