If you define XYMSRV=0.0.0.0 and use XYMSERVERS to list the two Xymon
servers, then my understanding is that the client will send client data to
both, in the order listed, and then keep the config from the last one.
This is on a UNIX client, and I don't know if it's the same for BBWin.
Also, I might have imagined it for the UNIX client, and I can't find any
evidence to support my memory.

I would say, test it and see.  Please report back what you find.

I’ve got a requirement to run an agent reporting to 2 separate servers.
It’s a BBWin agent and is actually on a server belonging to our partner
company but because we support that particular system we need it to report
to our Xymon server as well as theirs. We run all our agents in Central
mode so I’m wondering what the implications of that are when sending to 2
servers like this.


Will it just pick up the config files from the first server or will it
pick both up?
