Is there an easy way to monitor 2 servers with the same computername
using 1 hobbit server?  We are monitoring both our production enviroment

cannot be changed.
They must have different names in the bb-hosts file, or Hobbit will not
be able to distinguish between them. So you need to make up a pseudo
hostname for at least one of them.

For the client data (assuming you have a Hobbit client on them), you can
modify the hostname it uses to report data and make sure it matches the
name you use in bb-hosts.
