The bbproxy-idea sounds good.
The following _should_ work:
- running bbproxy on the old installation listening on port 1984 to
accept all incoming messages
- re-configure the hobbitd on the old installation to listen on another
port (say 1985)
- forward messages from bbproxy to localhost:1985 and newserver:1984
I've done something similar with ssh tunnels and bbproxy. A test-setup
would before going live with this may be helpful.
Another option may be to add an additional IP to your server and binding
bbproxy and hobbitd to them?
All the best

Hi,
I am building a new XyMon server to replace an old Hobbit installation
that is monitoring a few hundred devices. I would like to somehow like
to forward the status messages to the new server while I am testing ...
anyone have any ideas ... I thought of trying to use bbproxy, but I
suspect hobbitd needs to be stopped ... which defeats the object I suppose.
