If I delay or disable a host.service on one of the display server (thru gui
or email) will bbproxy be able to tell the other display server about it?

If you're running bbproxy, you should not be running the hobbitd task.
The [hobbitd] task runs ONLY on the real Hobbit server - not on proxy
servers, network testers, clients or any other box.
Hmm, if that's the case, why does hobbitlaunch.cfg have:

[bbnet]
        ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-network.log
        INTERVAL 5m

Should the "NEEDS hobbitd" be removed?
Yes, or replaced with "NEEDS bbproxy".
In my case, I want to use one "monitoring" server in a network as proxy
and
network tester, and I wouldn't mind having a display on it too (eg, in
the DR
site).
Then you must setup the hobbitd process to listen on a separate IP (e.g.
127.0.0.1) so it doesn't conflict with bbproxy listening on the same
port.
