But some clients are only listed in the bb-hosts of 1 of the 2 hobbit

listed in the bb-hosts file.  I can see the incoming messages and I
see the files under the data directory.  But no status is displayed
on the html pages.
Did you see the "--ghosts={allow|drop|log}" setting for hobbitd?
"allow" seems to be what you want.
Actually you can also use BBGHOSTS in hobbitserver.cfg, which is more
convenient I think. The man page unhelpfully doesn't list what BBGHOSTS of 0
does, but the cfg file does, so... you want a BBGHOSTS of 0.  Or make sure
the bb-hosts file are the same on both servers...  It is designed so that
they can be.
