Hi All, 


I have two new Xymon servers A and B.  All clients will send data to both servers 
excerpt from xymonclient.cfg: 
XYMSRV="0.0.0.0"                        # IP address of the Xymon server 
XYMSERVERS="serverA serverB"                         # IP of multiple Xymon servers. XYMSRV must be "0.0.0.0". 

No problem so far.  
I want serverA to be a client to itself and serverB and vice versa.  Modifying the xymonclient.cfg file on the 
server sends the server (as a client), but also all the client data that reports to it. 
Xymond excerpt: 
Multi-source statuses 
   clientA:conn                    reported by serverB and serverA 
   clientB:conn                    reported by serverB and serverA 
   clientC:conn                    reported by serverB and serverA 
... 


Latest error messages: 
Flapping detected for clientA:conn - 5 changes in 620 seconds 
Flapping detected for clientB:conn - 5 changes in 620 seconds 
Flapping detected for clientB:conn - 5 changes in 620 seconds 


So obviously that's not the way to do it.  Do I have to do anything with xymonproxy? I don't want to change 
all my clients. 


Thanks in advance
