Could you do it with a route?  That is specify a preferred source to the

Hi Josh,  Thanks for that... But the IP addresses are in the same subnet.

I think I may have fixed it by adding the    conn=2ndIPAddress    to the
servers's line in the hosts file.

If I have some time, I will remove the line and see if the server shows up
again in the ghost clients page and I'll report back what I find.

Thanks!
OK, just a quick follow-up.

I removed the conn= setting from the host's definition and the ghost client
entry has not shown up after several days.

Can't explain why, perhaps the host just started sending Xymon reports from
its primary IP for an unknown reason.

No idea on this one, but thought I would at least report back to close out
this thread. :)
